[SOLVED] Logitech Marble Mouse: can't enable custom mapping

I followed the wiki page:

Logitech_Marble_Mouse

My mouse works, but I can't get custom mappings to work.

Here's my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf,
to me it looks like it does ignore the Marble settings.
What am I missing?

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "evdev pointer catchall"
        MatchIsPointer "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "evdev"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "evdev"
        Option "XkbLayout" "latam"
EndSection
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier  "Marble Mouse"
        MatchProduct "Logitech USB Trackball"
        MatchIsPointer "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "evdev"
#       Physical button #s:     A b D - - - - B C    b = A & D simultaneously;   - = no button
        Option "ButtonMapping" "1 8 3 4 5 6 7 2 2"   #  For right-hand placement
#       Option "ButtonMapping" "3 8 1 4 5 6 7 2 2"   #  For left-hand placement
#
#       EmulateWheel refers to emulating a mouse wheel using Marble Mouse trackball.
        Option "EmulateWheel" "true"
#       Option "EmulateWheelButton" "8"              # Factory default; use "9" for left-side placement.
        Option "EmulateWheelButton" "8"
#
#       EmulateWheelInertia specifies how far (in pixels) the pointer must move to
#       generate button press/release events in wheel emulation mode.
        Option "EmulateWheelInertia" "10"            # Factory default: 50
#
        Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
        Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7"                  # Disable this for vertical-only scrolling.
#       Emulate3Buttons refers to the act of pressing buttons A and D
#       simultaneously to emulate a middle-click or wheel click.
        Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
#       Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"              # Factory default.
EndSection

Re: [SOLVED] Logitech Marble Mouse: can't enable custom mapping

Found the solution:

I had to comment out the MatchProduct line;
I assume the wiki page had been done with a different product.
