Logitech mx610

Hi

I've now tried for hours to get my system up and running, and I have now only one thing that doesn't work as I want to, and it is my mouse. There's an excellent guide on ubuntuforums, which have worked for me before (when I used ubuntu) and I hoped it would work on Arch too, but it didn't or at least not for me. I there anyone else with this mouse that has it up and running. I don't care much for the Instant-messenger and email buttons, but the rest would be much appreciated if they would work.

Sincerely

You've probably missed this:

Edit: I recommend BTNX

Yes I have actually, thanks for the link. Hope I can get it working.

However it seems like I can't get it to work, everything I've tried has simply failed. This is my xorg.conf file before changing in order to get my mouse working (not as pretty as I'd hoped for)

This is what this command shows; egrep "Name|Handlers" /proc/bus/input/devices

N: Name="Power Button (CM)"
H: Handlers=kbd event5 
N: Name="Sleep Button (CM)"
H: Handlers=kbd event6 
N: Name="PC Speaker"
H: Handlers=kbd event7

I've tried many different things but everyone leads to a dead mouse. Anyone that can help me? I've followed the guide linked in the post above.

Re: Logitech mx610

I tried btnx too, followd guides on ubuntuforums etc, and I set it up, but it seems like the program doesn't execute my configuration. Nothing happens.
