cordless mouse

Hi!

I like to change my seven years old Logitech mouse for new one. How is Linux support for cordless mice?
Thanks,

Mitja

Perfect, you may have to configure the special buttons yourselves.

I have a mx900 and I have also used a mx700  with no problems.

Re: cordless mouse

The support is great
I've always used cordless mice... the only time i have problems is when I try to plug the reciever in my ethernet port instead of my usb port (on my laptop)... it took me about 20 min to realize the stupid reciever was in the wrong port one time...

Needless to say, I just bought a new laptop and am still getting used to it.

I am an old "fashion" and bought Logitech MX400 mouse. It works vewry good but for me is new because it has 5 buttons. Do you kno w how or where can I find something to programmed buttons, please?

Thanks.

Re: cordless mouse

You have to do something like this in xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Configured Mouse"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto"
        Option      "Buttons" "5"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
        Option      "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7"
EndSection
