Remapping Logitech G27 wheel buttons

Hello all.
I need to remap the order of the buttons of a Logitech G27 racing wheel, to be correctly recognized in a racing sim via Wine.
Basically I need the buttons 12, 13…17 to be read as buttons 1, 2…6.
I guess I should remap it in xorg.conf and that the wheel uses evdev driver, so I modified that file following xorg and evdev available online helps… but nothing happens with the order of the buttons.

This is my xorg.conf. Please, let me know if you need some additional information.

I tested several different alternatives to modify the xorg.conf but had no success

Thanks a lot in advance! Marcos.

---------------------

That's how I modified the etc/X11/xorg.conf file

code

EndSection

Re: Remapping Logitech G27 wheel buttons

Please wrap outputs and file contents in

[code]code tags[/code]

and edit the post to reflect accordingly.

Hoping that the device is always event16 is a gamble I wouldn't take, and in any case unless you consciously installed the evdev driver, the driver that's used in our modern times will be libinput https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Libinput note the xorg config file and the button remapping section for something you could do on the fly.

Thanks! I'll research about that driver
