I change the behaviour of the middle button with the program 'revoco', available from http://goron.de/~froese/revoco The readme.txt says: ----------------------------------------------- Revoco v0.4 - Change the wheel behaviour of Logitech's MX-Revolution mouse. Usage: revoco free free spinning mode revoco click click-to-click mode revoco manual[=button[,button]] manual mode change via button revoco auto[=speed[,speed]] automatic mode change (up, down) ----------------------------------------------- I do find that I have to reset the mouse from time to time to keep the my required settings (ie. 'revoco click'), mostly when I charge the mouse and it goes out of range.
