Logitech MX 1000 Thumb buttons... [Archive]

View Full Version : Logitech MX 1000 Thumb buttons...

For those of you who don't know what an MX 1000 is...
http://www.tweakers.net/ext/i.dsp/1093438471.jpg
A mouse with 3 thumb buttons, a scrollwheel with 4 direction (also left and right) and cruise control buttons on top of it...

Now i've set this thing correctly up in X using this tutorial:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MX1000Mouse
(i'm using Ubuntu Gutsy)

And in Beryl I was able to configure the side buttons (Button9 and Button8) to rotate the cube. However in Compiz Fusion this won't work. It accepts the key settings but does nothing with it. When i go to viewport switcher plugin. And bind these buttons to next and previous viewport they do work. But this works only once the mouse is on the desktop. I want to let them work in all times. Does anyone know how to configure these buttons with the rotate cube plugin?

That's odd - i use MX100's forward/back thumb buttons to rotate the cube since beryl, and it still works fine with compiz fusion (ubuntu gutsy). All other buttons including fast scroll and wheel titl can be bound and work properly in compiz as well.
First, check if the button presses are read correctly by Xserver - run "xev" in terminal, and click these buttons when mouse pointer in in the window that appears after running that command.

If reported buttons are reported correctly, then the problem is probably with compiz configuration. I didn't understand one thing: do the buttons work only when used in viewport switcher plugin, or did you try to use them only in this plugin? I've bound them in the "rotate cube" plugin to next/previous cube face and it works like a charm.

If you don't get correct report of buttons 8/9 presses, then maybe try configuring the mouse a bit differently using udev:

Try changing mx1000 section in xorg.conf to:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Logitech MX1000"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event9"
Driver "evdev"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Name" "Logitech USB RECEIVER"
EndSection

And adding the line:

KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", SYSFS{idVendor}=="046d", SYSFS{idProduct}=="c50e", NAME="input/event9", SYMLINK+="MX1000-event", MODE="0666"

to /etc/udev/rules.d/19-local.rules (create the file if necessary).

After that you'll need to restart xserver, so press ctrl+alt+backspace, or just reboot the machine.

This might be required if you have another wireless logitech device - mouse, trackball, keyboard, etc., since their receivers often use the same name - "Logitech USB RECEIVER", and your config may be used for other device.

By the way, create a backup of xorg.conf before playing with it, or do not delete the old version of MX1000 section, just comment it out - just in case ;)

Thanks for your reply, My X server didn't really like your modification. It crashed... However, by disabling the 'corepointer' line. It started. However the compiz settings didn't work. Let me give you some more detailed information:

http://83.117.12.151/upstream/upload/Schermafdruk-CompizConfigSettingsManager.png
This shows how i set my mouse to do what it's supposed to do in the rotate cube plugin. When I apply them they don't work. And when I restart the X server the settings are gone.

http://83.117.12.151/upstream/upload/Schermafdruk-CompizConfigSettingsManager-1.png
This shows the working settings for teh Viewport Switcher plugin. These settings are saved and work correctly but only when the mouse is on the desktop.

Please consider trying btnx and btnx-config (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=455656&highlight=btnx) - a simple setup for a multi-function mouse, with the ability to bind mouse buttons/keyboard combinations to any mouse button. i.e. R+Ctrl+Shift+Super or Alt+Left_Button.
This way your thumb buttons output the same usable keycodes regardless of which window has focus.

I've installed the program but it does not detect my Logitech MX 1000 Mouse... Any suggestions?

That's really odd - I'm running the same O/S version and the mouse works just like you expect it to - it rotates the cube, no matter which window has focus. Your cube plugin config looks all right, so there shouldn't be a problem there.

Please post the xev output when you press the thumb buttons - try running it in the terminal, move the pointer into "event tester" window, lift the mouse up from the desk so that the cursor doesn't move and try pressing its buttons (especially the thumb ones). You should get something like:

I can confirm that binding side buttons in viewport switcher plugin makes the buttons work only when cursor is over desktop, but binding them back to rotate cube plugin makes them work fine again...

If xev shows that buttons work correctly, then maybe the problem is with the settings manager itself - see if selecting a different backend for ccsm helps (in advanced options - you should be able to select between gconf and flat-file). After switching to the other backend all your settings will be reverted to default, so you'll have to set side buttons to cube rotation again, but when you come back to previously used backend then you'll have all your old settings back.

It does seem to recognize the keys. It works perfectly when running beryl...

And did changing ccsm backend change anything?

If you do try to change ccsm's configuration backend, please try disabling the option at ccsm->Preferences->Enable integration into the desktop environment before switching to the flat-file configuration backend. I was advised by a developer that disabling desktop environment integration may resolve some issues without changing the backend.

Rrr... I don't think I have those settings in my ccsm manager... How can i change my backend?

I have this same mouse.

I want to be able to use the ThumbForward and ThumbBack buttons to rotate the cube with the current focused window. CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+RIGHT & LEFT

I can not get this to work, and based on my XEV (Below), I don't think it will be possible, it looks to me that the buttons are not being detected independently.

I also tried btnx without the desired results. I can have the JUMPUP and the THUMBFORWARD programmed, but if I attempt the corresponding alternate, that one won't work.

I solved it with disabling the desktop intergration (thx for the tip) I hope i don't get any other errors...

@corbinsiddall - it seems that you are using a generic mouse driver. To use all the buttons, you must use evdev driver instead. Here's a tutorial on how to do this:
