How to configure Logitech Marble Mouse

[Hugo Boss]

I have recently found a Logitech Marble Mouse (it is a trackball) and i just want to use it for use with my laptop. I have not been able to get it working in the same ways it functions in Windows.

The normal behavior of the mouse is as follows:
Button 1: Large left-click button.
Button 2: Left-of-center smaller button for scrolling 3 lines DOWN
Button 3: Right-of center smaller button for scrolling 3 lines UP
Button 4: Large right-click button (on right)

please can any one help me

I managed to configure my mouse Logitech Marble Mouse to scroll.

First, I have a standard configuration for the mouse in xorg.conf:

Code:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/ dev / input / mice"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS / 2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
EndSection

Then, use the following command to swap the buttons to virtual buttons:

Code:

xmodmap-e "pointer = 3 6 1 2 8 9 7 4 5"

Here are the buttons 8 and 9 which are important. If you use your mouse with your right hand, reverse the location of these two figures in the previous command.

Then try using an application such as Konqueror to see if the two small buttons parade.

I have not succeeded in making these two buttons' Autorepeat ', I changed the configuration of the mouse in kcontrol for it scrolls a little faster. Go to kcontrol-> mouse-> expert.

To keep this change for the next reboot, you can use the following commands:

Code:
echo 'xmodmap-e "pointer = 3 6 1 2 8 9 7 4 5"'> ~ / .kde / Autostart / setMouse
chmod u + x ~ / .kde / Autostart / setMouse

Here's the interesting part of my xorg.conf (Ubuntu 7.10)

Code:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Protocol" "Auto"
Option "Device" "/ dev / input / mice"
Option "ButtonMapping" "3 2 1 6 2"
Option "EmulateWheel" "true"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
Option "DragLockButtons" "6 1"
EndSection

I therefore have to scroll using the ball and the small right button. The latter also emulates clicking the middle button of a mouse.

And the small left button serves to lock or unlock the highlight or selection.
Disable the "DragLockButtons" allows you to use this button to return to the previous page in the browser.

For a right, I think it would make changes like this:

Code:

Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 2 6"

Note, the "ButtonMapping" allows to dispense with xmodmap.

For information, here is the table of the Trackball Logitech Marble plug's in usb and the driver "mouse":

Event Agenda
Score 1, Selection, ...
Collage 2 of the selection, opening tabs in Firefox ...
3 Contextual Menu
4 Scroll up
5 Scroll down
Previous 6
7 Next
8?
9?

And here is the list of available buttons by default:

Button Description
1 large button
2 Emule by combination of large left + right buttons. Mapping impossible?
Big 3 right button
8 Petit left
9 Small button

By default, the button N is associated with the event N

And here is my section "InputDevice" improved:

Code:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Protocol" "Auto"
Option "Device" "/ dev / input / mice"
Option "ButtonMapping" "3 2 1 6"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "Emulate3Timeout" "100"
Option "EmulateWheel" "true"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "9"
Option "EmulateWheelInertia" "5"
Option "EmulateWheelTimeout" "1"
Option "Resolution" "800"
Option "Sensitivity" "0.8"
EndSection

The middle button is emulated.
