i don't know if this will help you, but it helped me. try running this command in a terminal - xinput set-button-map "Logitech USB Trackball" 1 9 3 4 5 6 7 8 2 (i had to switch 9 and 2 ) to get the left scroll button function
i'm guessing that anyone with a bit of python knowledge or some thing could make a start script, but i just added the command to the start up applications (on ubuntu jaunty) cheers -- unable to configure trackball mouse in jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/347381 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
