I have a mouse with 4 physical buttons (Kensington Slimblade Trackball), let's call them A B C D, plus 3 axes: mouse X, Y, and scroll wheel. I'm using Xorg 1:7.7+13ubuntu3 on Linux Mint 18, kernel 4.4.0-38-generic.
Buttons A and B work out of the box as primary (button 1) and right click (button 3). Pressing A + B together triggers the middle button emulation (button 2) which is also great. Now I'd like to map buttons C and D for my own purposes, but I cannot find how to map button C separately from the A+B emulation. With the default xinput button-map, I get this mapping: 1 A 2 C 3 B 4 5 6 7 D ... If I try to map button C to 8 and D to 9, with `xinput set-button-map "..." 1 8 3 0 0 0 9`, then button C is mapped to 8, but the middle button emulation (A+B) gets mapped to button 8 too! 1 A 8 C, but also A+B! 3 B 0 0 0 9 D How can I map button C to an arbitrary button number (such as 8) while keeping the A+B emulation as button 2? Can it be done at the Xinput level at all? Here are the evtest codes for the 4 buttons: A: type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 90001 type 1 (EV_KEY), code 272 (BTN_LEFT), value 1 B: type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 90002 type 1 (EV_KEY), code 273 (BTN_RIGHT), value 1 C: type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value ff000001 type 1 (EV_KEY), code 274 (BTN_MIDDLE), value 1 D: type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value ff000002 type 1 (EV_KEY), code 275 (BTN_SIDE), value 1 If Xinput cannot do it, does anybody know if I can change the mapping between MSC_SCAN and BTN_* without writing a kernel driver? -Tobia _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: %(user_address)s
