Logitech MX518 - mouse sensitivity buttons [solved]

Hello everyone.
Does anyone know, how to disable default behavior of Logitech MX518 mouse sensitivity buttons (the ones on top of mouse with + and -)?

I am looking for this thing for some time, and have no luck.

Only one thing I managed to find out is, that those two buttons dont send any events - in xev there are no info after pressing them. So I think problem is that evdev dont send any events (or is it kernel?).

My xorg setup is

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "USB Mouse"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option        "Device" "/dev/input/event4"
    Option        "Protocol" "evedev"
    Option        "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    Option        "SendCoreEvents" "true"
EndSection

If anyone know anything helpfull, please let me know.

PS. I hope I am posting in the right section hmm

First thing I tried - dont work. I can only change actual resolution, not unbind those buttons. Command `lomoco --no-sms` did not do anything at all.

Messing with Lomoco, try running xev, and click those buttons inside it. Do you get anything?

OK, but that's even with lomoco having the extra button features turned on, as well (--sms?)?
Assuming that's a yes, it's probably like my G5...just nothing.

Logitech replied with a non-answer when I emailed them about it (we don't really need SetPoint for Linux, just a spec sheet of how to do it for each mouse).

Re: Logitech MX518 - mouse sensitivity buttons [solved]

sudo lomoco -h or -g, it will set the highest cpi and then those buttons can be left for other use, e.g. compiz, I use them to raise/lower windows with my mx518.
And if hotplug is enabled, anything in the device section of your xorg.conf will be useless.
If you want those buttons be set when booting, you should take a look at /etc/udev/lomoco_mouse.conf.

Thanks - works perfectly fine. I ussually use 800dpi - so I tried sudo lomoco -8, which left +- buttons still assigned. It seems, that only -m -g -h unassign those bindings.

Hi!

First, I'd just like to introduce myself and say that i really love Archlinux and the community here. Arch is really exactly what I was looking for in a distro.

That said, I'm bumping this topic since I have a very similar problem but the proposed solution doesn't seem to work for me.
I too, would like to free up my logitech MX518 sensitivity buttons. I have installed lomoco but it isn't working for me.

"lomoco -h" gives me the following in a terminal:

003.003: 046d:c051 Unsupported Logitech device: USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse

I've also taken a look at my lomoco_mouse.conf in /etc/udev but the settings there actually doesn't seem to change anything.
The solution may be simple but I'm really at a total loss and have no idea where to go from here. I appreciate any help I get. Thanks.

Well apparently lomoco (or kernel?) doesn't recognize your mouse.

For "lomoco -h" I get this:

002.005: 046d:c01e MX518 Optical Mouse (M-BS81A) Caps: RES 
    Resolution set to 1600 cpi

But why it is I have no idea.

PS. It would be better to create new topic since this one is marked [solved]
