MX Revolution problems with Thumbwheel

I've bought myself a MX Revolution Mouse.

Until two weeks ago everything worked fine, but after a system update the thumbwheel stoped sending button events.

Here are the relevant X11 config sections.

Section "ServerLayout"
        InputDevice     "MX Rev"                "CorePointer"
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "MX Rev"
        Driver          "evdev"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/event9"
        Option          "Protocol"              "auto"
        Option          "CorePointer"
EndSection

When I (re)start my X-Server the mouse works fine and the Side-Buttons and the Mouse-Wheel (tilt, scroll & press) also send envent visible in xev.

But the Thumb wheel just refuses to do anything.

Since I thought it's a hardware problem I got a new mouse an it still doesn't work.
Also the solutions on the forums don't work for me.

Another important note: revoco works perfectly for me not only I can set the wheel mode, but I can also bind the thumbwheel buttons as a mode switch for the main wheel.

So far thats all that seems important to me.

Re: MX Revolution problems with Thumbwheel

I'm also having problem with the evdev driver ever since xf86-input-evdev-1.2.0
With 2.0.1 most buttons on my VX Revolution work, only the zoom slider doesn't generate any event at all. Reverting back to 1.1.5 automatically solves the problem.

Does any body have a working configuration for VX/MX Revolution using evdev version >=2.0.1?

ection "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Logitech"
    Driver      "evdev"
    #Option      "CorePointer"
    Option      "SendCoreEvents"        "true"
    Option      "Device"                "/dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-event-mouse"
    Option      "Name"                  "Logitech USB Receiver"
    Option      "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
    Option      "HWHEELRelativeAxisButtons" "7 6"
    Option      "RelHWHEELOptions" "invert"
    Option      "Resolution"            "800"
EndSection

Re: MX Revolution problems with Thumbwheel

Had anyone any luck with the  thumb on Revolution?
I can't get the thumb to show anything in xev.
Thanks for any info.
