Calmar on Logitech MX with btnx

• Downlaod Olli Salonens' btnx, compile and install
• Make sure your Kernel has:
  
  • Devise Drivers --> HID Devises: /dev/hiddev ram HID device support (CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=y)
  • Devise Drivers --> Input device support --> Miscellaneous devices: User level driver support (CONFIG_INPUT_UINPUT=m)
  • Devise Drivers --> Input device support --> Event interface (INPUT_EVDEV=y
• Then you need to create a configuraton for btnx as root with btnx-conf (when root can't open a display, as user: xhost +localhost and as root: export DISPLAY=:0).
  Try to detect your mouse and buttons (Detect mouse & buttons), and finally tweak your buttons.
• May just put a: sudo /usr/sbin/btnx -b into your .xinitr or load it however you want: use a init script (a debian, or so, one gets delivered with the source) what gets loaded with a udev-rule (/etc/udev/rules.d/99-btnx.rules also delivered)...
  I have actually this btnx-init-script hacked together for gentoo (not really like it should ... but works. On the relaod-button fo btnx an error occurs, because gentoo's init won't accept arguments like 'start Default', but it reloads it anyway)
• The revoco code is included in btnx. Note, the button 3 in btnx is actually the push-scroll-wheel, aka middle-button).
• My /etc/X11/xorg.conf settings:

Section "ServerLayout"
    ...
    InputDevice    "MX Rev" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "MX Rev"
    Driver         "mouse"
    Option         "Protocol"        "auto"
    Option         "Device"          "/dev/psaux"
EndSection

• I have actually the setup below. I bind those F7 to F12 keys accordignly in the applications like mutt, weechat and of course the window-manager.

  main wheel pushed left	keycode = KEY_F9
  main wheel pushed right	keycode = KEY_F12
  thumb-button back	keycode = KEY_F7
  thumb-button ahead	keycode = KEY_F8
  button behind wheel	keycode = BTN_MIDDLE (middle-mouse-key) (the 'real' middle-mouse-button toggles the free rolling..)
  side-wheel back	keycode = KEY_F10
  side-wheel forward	keycode = KEY_F11
  side-wheel pushed	mod1 = KEY_LEFTMETA (Mod1 works like a keyboard press)
