6 mouse buttons, only 2 work

I have a logitech MX310 mouse and was wondering how I would get it workiing with full functionality, I open the kontrol panel in KDE and under the mouse section is tells me that it can't find libusb, but I have it installed. what do I need to do?

I don't know, I've not seen that issue... Try changing the title of this thread to something more specific though, that should help attract attention.

Re: 6 mouse buttons, only 2 work

This givs me working buttons (mx900):

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

You should probably do something similar.

Try to use something else than Protocol "auto", it often doesn't work. You most likely want ExplorerPS/2. Read man mouse.

Re: 6 mouse buttons, only 2 work

you might want to use the evdev mouse driver.  It allows you to fully use all of your mouse buttons and functions.

here is my entry for for my logitech mx500 (12 buttons) for example.

Section "InputDevice"
        Driver          "evdev"
        Identifier  "EvDevMouse 0"
        Option      "CorePointer"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/event1" # 
        Option      "Dev Name" "B16_b_02 USB*"   # cat /proc/bus/input/devices
        Option      "Protocol" "evdev"
        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "0"
        Option      "Buttons" "12"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "11 12"
EndSection

Yep, I use <code>evdev</code> as well for my Logitech MX500, and all is well.
