It has never worked as far as I know. The middle button on the mouse reports as device 0 which the input layer is not expecting. I gave up trying to get it to work. This makes the back button near your thumb work as the middle button: /usr/bin/xinput set-button-map "Logitech MX Revolution Mouse" 1 2 3 4 5 6 2 2 I have it in .bashrc but it really should be in a udev script. The mouse occasionally disconnects/reconnect. In udev the command would get automatically reapplied. BTW, it you plug the mouse in under Windows and program the middle button to behave like a middle button, it will work until you forget to charge the mouse. Then you have to put it back on Windows and reprogram the button. > > -Eric > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in > the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- Jon Smirl jonsmirl@xxxxxxxxx -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
