HOWTO: setup all 12 buttons on your mx1000

[bat266]

Do you have anything else that's wireless and Logitech? That's what I'm thinking it would be. Keyboard, etc.



Anyway, if you'd post your output of /proc/bus/input/devices it would give us a bit more help and more of an idea of which it might be.

Well it took a few weeks of scouring the internet for clues before I finally got my mx1000 to work just like I expected it to, but I finally did it. The howto is available on the wiki at the following url:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MX1000Mouse .

Let me know if it works for you. I welcome any and all questions and comments. Even if you don't like the way a particular sentence sounds, let me know

The howto is a product of several small changes I made over several weeks as I tried to get all 12 buttons to function correctly during my spare time so I may have forgotten to include a detail or two (I hope not). Sorry if I did, but I'm sure we can figure it out. Just post any problems you are having.

Does this work for gutsy 7.10 ?

Never mind I figured it out for myself!

PS: Great guide!!!!!

Sorry for the delay on the reply... Did you get it fixed.... If not...



That's odd... Just try both of them... Are they spelled and cased differently?

Good to hear.. Glad you like it

My god, I thought I was the only person that had that problem. Sometimes it only has 7 buttons, and other times it actually has 20.

This obviously is a bug, and it's starting to annoy the hell out of me. Anyone know the right place to report this?

Indeed. I'm going to knock on wood here and say it hasn't happened in the past couple restarts.


When it happens to you, does your keyboard map change at all or anything else awkward happen?

My down arrow becomes return and return on the numpad is somehow disabled.


It doesn't do it at the log-in window, however; it's after xfce loads.


After I type in my password, I hit the down arrow, and it doesn't do anything; when i use the return on the numpad, it logs me in.

Does it work on bluetooth MX1000s? I've followed this guide exactly, and with varying degree of modification on different installs. Still haven't gotten it.

Anyone have luck with their bluetooth MX1000?

No, but I don't have a Logitech keyboard/mouse combo, so my keyboard is connected to PS/2, and the MX1000 receiver is on USB.

Therefore I think my keyboard and mouse are kind of unrelated...

My hardware: Asus P5B/Core2 CPU

What's your hardware and how is your keyboard connected?
Is it one of those Logitech combo's or is it regular USB/PS/2?

PS. I've just inserted a USB 2.0 PCI card in the computer (maybe it's the USB chip on the MB that causes this issue) and i've connected the mouse to one of the ports on it. I'll see how that goes and i'll let you know

totally didn t work on Gusty, it messed up my xorg, and wouldn t recognize my video card anymore

This worked for me in Gutsy. I didn't follow all of the guide because I don't use all of the buttons on my mouse, I mainly wanted the back/forward buttons. But the xorg.conf edit worked fine in Ubuntu 7.10 (using nvidia drivers if that makes any difference).
