Wheel tilting does not work on Logitech VX Nano.

I have a Logitech VX Nano mouse with 9 buttons.

This is my xorg.conf part.

Section "Inputdevice"

# Logitech VX Nano

    Identifier    "EvdevMouse"
    Driver        "evdev"
    Option        "Device"        "/dev/input/event7"
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"

# The Identifier line must be present
    Identifier  "Laptop"
    Screen         "Laptop single"
    InputDevice "Keyboard1"        "CoreKeyboard"
    Inputdevice    "EvdevMouse"    "CorePointer"
    InputDevice "Mouse2"    "SendCoreEvents"

EndSection
# xev | grep -i button

This recognize 7 buttons. No response on tilting the wheel. Missing button 6 and 7.

# xev

Still nothing when tilting the wheel.

# cat /dev/input/event7

This respond to the wheel tilting.

# egrep "Name|Handlers" /proc/bus/input/devices
.
.
.
N: Name="Logitech USB Receiver"
H: Handlers=mouse2 event7 ts2 
N: Name="Logitech USB Receiver"
H: Handlers=kbd event8

Any ideas on how to get the wheel tilt to work. I have seen the wiki on 'how to make all buttons work'.

I'm using Xorg 7.3

Re: Wheel tilting does not work on Logitech VX Nano.

I have a Logitech VX 220 (three buttons, wheel, tilt wheel) and I went through a mountain of things before I got it to work. What worked in the end was a pure evdev configuration.

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Logitech V220"
        Driver      "evdev"
        Option      "Dev Name" "Logitech USB Receiver"
        Option      "Dev Phys" "usb-0000:00:1d.0-2/input0"
        Option      "SendCoreEvents"
        Option      "evBits" "+1-2"
        Option      "keyBits" "~272-287"
        Option      "relBits" "~0-2 ~6 ~8"
        Option      "Pass" "3"
EndSection

I get the "Dev Name" and "Dev Phys" parameter from /proc/bus/input/devices. By using these, I avoid problems if the receiver is plugged into a different USB port. You can probably use this as a starting point and take a look at the evdev man page to see how you might tweak it for your mouse.

Good luck.
