Logitech VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse

I've bought myself the above mouse. Sofar the scroll wheel and right click work correctly. But the left klick produces a *double*-click.

How should I correct that?

What desktop environment are you using? KDE has a setting like this (though this may not be your problem)

You might have some success here as well:

I'm using xorg and openbox.

This is the passage in my xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "USB Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Buttons" "5"
EndSection

I'm really not sure where to go with this - but have you looked into btnx? After googling around a bit, it seems pretty popular to get this sort of thing working. You can get it from aur - I'm downloading it now for my logitech mouse as well to see what I can get from it. I'll post back with some results on whether or not it'll be some help.

Hi

That would be a great help. I was busy somewhere else

I don't know how usefult btnx will be for you, but it seems like it might do the job. It allows you to create a profile for a mouse and then assign what buttons send what events. The problem I'm having is that I'm not sure what even to send to do what. I suspect that the normal mouse button behaviors are assigned as "btn_X" (where X is a variable) in the configuration, but the X portions are relativly vague. I BELIEVE what you need to do is to launch btnx-config and allow it to make a mouse profile, and then assign your left mouse button the "BTN_Left" Key action, but I can't really be sure right now.

I know this isn't quite what you were probably looking for, but I'm just discovering this software as well (and I too have a logitech mouse that I haven't been able to get working to it's full potential yet.) I hope I've pointed you in the right direction with this.

EDIT: For help on using the program - look here: http://www.ollisalonen.com/btnx/man/

I am running a logitech laser bluetooth under KDEmod with the following xorg.conf settings with all buttons working fine.

Section "InputDevice"
    # generated from default
    Identifier     "Mouse0"
    Driver         "mouse"
    Option         "Protocol" "auto"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/psaux"
#   Option         "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
    Option         "Buttons" "9"
    Option         "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    Option         "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7 8 9"
EndSection

Option "Buttons" "9"

Does it handle more than 7 buttons?

sykesm · 2008-01-06 11:32:47

not sure if it does handle more than 7. I was tinkering trying to see if I could get the press left and press right on the scroll wheel to do something. So far no luck and I'll edit back to.
"Buttons" "7"
"ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7"

I guess a "XAxisMapping" "n1 n2" would be required?

I've got the Logitech VX Nano and the settings I have for my Intellimouse Explorer seem to work with it too:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7"
EndSection

I actually added the above the Xorg page in the wiki a while back, glad it also works for this mouse too!

The only thing is I set the "search" button in the middle to act as middle-click via the Logitech software in Windows Vista, so I'm not sure if that means I've programmed the mouse or whether that's the default in Linux.

I'm using an MX Revolution, and using btnx that was mentioned above. This app is godly. For example, when I hold my thumb scrollwheel button over a window, it will move (I have a key combo setup in btnx for that button: ALT + left click keycodes)... The possibilities are endless
