[SOLVED] Logitech Marble Mouse: can't enable custom mapping

I followed the wiki page:
Logitech_Marble_Mouse
My mouse works, but I can't get custom mappings to work.
Here's my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf,
to me it looks like it does ignore the Marble settings.
What am I missing?

Found the solution:
I had to comment out the MatchProduct line;
I assume the wiki page had been done with a different product.

  • Logitech Marble Mouse - Control Center

    Hi,
    I recently updated my OS to 10.4.7, and while I've had some recent activity with different mice, I went back to the Logitech Marble Mouse and Control Center, and found the Control Center stopped recognizing the unit. I've tried to remove it via the un-installer and no dice. I also installed SteerMouse, but that will end up costing me $20... I also tried USB Overdrive, and it doesn't seem to work.
    Can Anyone recommend any steps to get Control Center back working? The Logitech form seems hard to find any relevant info.
    Thanks!

  • Logitech marble mouse

    i am already on my second mighty mouse. the first had to be replaced under warranty. my second mouse has had issues that cleaning wont help so i am going to buy something completely different. i am considering the logitech marble mouse. i like the fact it has a huge ball. (not that size counts!) has anyone here tried this mouse and would mind leaving a quick review. THANKS!!!

    i received it already and i am never going back to the unmighty mouse. i stupidly took awhile before i realized i had to go to logitech and download the ability to customize it. sometimes i am not too swift but now it works fine. i am already noticing less strain on my wrist. bigger IS better!

  • Logitech Marble Mouse owners?

    Hello
    1st thing are there any Logi Marble mouse owners? If so I could do with some help.
    Hey there's some great custom functions on this and it's a MM beater no doubt but one thing I could do with the MM is when on a web page I could just scroll down with the centre button to the top/bottom and back up you get the idea ,anyway how do i do it with the Logi MM as the only way I can find is by grabbing the blue bar on the left and then scroll up/down .,anyway any other methods or is that it?\
    All the best

  • Logitech Marble Mouse and Xorg 1.8

    With the update to xorg 1.8, fdi files in /etc/hal/fdi/policy are no longer being used.
    I created a workaround for my Marble Mouse by creating a file named /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-marblemouse.conf
    Then I added the following cote to it:
    Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "Marble Mouse"
    MatchProduct "Logitech USB Trackball"
    MatchIsPointer "on"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
    Driver "evdev"
    Option "ButtonMapping" "1 9 3 4 5 6 7 8 2"
    Option "EmulateWheel" "true"
    Option "EmulateWheelButton" "8"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7"
    Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
    EndSection
    I know the xorg.conf.d directory should be left for .conf snippets from the distro maintainers.  I hope the above helps someone get their Marble Mouse working. 
    Now that I have it working as a snippet I'm going to try making the change to xorg.conf and see if that works.

    Perhaps a bit off-topic though on the topic of trackballs... My Kensington Expert Mouse worked nicely in Xorg 1.8 without configuration. The only problem was that I prefer the two upper buttons reversed. Here is the xorg.conf section for configuring it:
    Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "Kensington Expert Mouse"
    Driver "evdev"
    MatchIsPointer "on"
    MatchProduct "Kensington Expert Mouse"
    MatchVendor "Kensington"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
    Option "CorePointer"
    # Upper buttons: left=browser back, right=middle click
    Option "ButtonMapping" "1 8 3 4 5 6 7 2"

  • HOWTO: Get a logitech marble mouse to work w/scroll and more

    This bit of information was taken from a post at the ubuntu forums. It worked for me, enjoy!
    Modify your Xorg.conf/XF86Config file to have this in the mouse section:
    Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "MarbleMouse"
    Driver "mouse"
    Option "Protocol" "auto"
    Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
    Option "Buttons" "5"
    Option "ButtonMapping" "1 8 3 6 7"
    Option "EmulateWheel" "true"
    Option "EmulateWheelTimeout" "300" # msec
    Option "EmulateWheelButton" "6"
    Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5"
    EndSection
    here is the exact post on the ubuntu forums.
    http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p= … stcount=21

    Hotplugging now automatically sets up the small buttons as forward/back.  Put an fdi in /etc/hal/fdi/policy as the wiki states, but after restarting hal and xorg only the left and right mouse buttons work.  Tried replacing "Logitech USB Trackball" with "ImExPS/2 Logitech Explorer Mouse" for the hell of it, no change.  Any ideas?

    There actually is a wiki entry that points to Delightfully's posts on his blog.  Honestly, I've never edited a wiki and I wasn't sure if I'd be stepping on someone else's wiki-toes (so to speak).  If there is interest in that, though, I'll learn to edit a wiki and add it.

  • Logitech Marble Mouse scrollwheel emulation

    Before I open a Wiki account*, can anyone else confirm that it only works over USB?
    I can't remember how long I've had this thing, and I even have a vague feeling I came up against this problem before I installed Arch, but I always assumed I must have a defective trackball. Or an early model that doesn't support it. Or something. Such as I was doing it wrong, which was by far the most likely, and in fact turned out to be the case.
    Probably. Because it's just possible that I do have a defective PS/2 adaptor, so I'd like some corroboration.
    *I know; eight years and I never got around to it.

  • How can I get back the two button smooth scroll with Logitec optical marble mouse since Adobe Acrobat or FireFox updates on 10/26/2010 made it quit?

    Oct 25, 26 or 27 both Adobe Acrobat and Mozilla Firefox alerted me they had updates to install. Since I trust them both I installed them. However, since then my optical marble mouse from Logitech acted strangely different. The cursor did not move as usual. It didn't respond right. I thought it might have needed the dust wiped out, so I did that. It still acted sluggish when I tried to move it, it was as though it was "spinning its wheels" not going anywhere. I went to the Control Panel clicked on Mouse, and proceeded to look at the settings and set them to default. I then tried to use the universal scroll by clicking the two big buttons which showed a circle with cross hair arrows as usual. When the marble was moved forward or backward, the scroll had always been smooth allowing one to read the screen evenly and without holding any button down. Now it was jerky. Is this a problem from the last update? My version of Firefox is 3.6.12
    Thank you

    I am happy to see another person is having this jerky scroll situation with the latest update to Firefox on October 27. I did check my I.E browser and '''THAT BROWSER''' still does the nice smooth scroll....let's get 'er fixed Mozilla! I know you can!

  • [Solved] Elan touchpad wrongly recognized as PS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse

    In my Samsung QX310 I have an Elan multitouch touchpad. It's recognized (by kernel? xorg? udev?) as PS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse and it works as one (no scrolling, multitouch, etc.)
    options psmouse force_elantech=1
    in psmouse.conf in /etc/modprobe.d/ doesn't help
    sudo rmmod psmouse && sudo modprobe psmouse force_elantech=1
    don't change anything
    In my case modprobe psmouse doesn't react to any arguments, every time it loads PS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse. There aren't any errors in dmesg either.
    I have xf86-input-synaptics and even xf86-input-multitouch-git installed.
    I have also tried many combinations in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf but I think the main problem is here
    $ xinput list
    ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
    ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
    ⎜ ↳ PS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse id=13 [slave pointer (2)]
    Is there any option to force psmouse (modprobe?) to load Elantech driver?
    This should be solved in kernel 2.6.34 (I have 2.6.37.5) but apparently something is wrong with my configuration. Any guesses?
    Edit:
    It seems psmouse can't recognize newer elan touchpads. Here are the bug reports
    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27442
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/681904
    I have forced psmouse to use elantech protocol (by changing psmouse.c) but touchpad didn't work at all, so for now everybody with elan smart-pad (almost every newer samsung notebook) are stuck without scrolling and multitouch.
    Edit Solved, the proper patch is at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27442

  • Ipad 2 can't see logitech bluetooth mouse M557

    Hi,
    I made sure that this mouse would connect to my ipad 2 before I bought it and other bluetooth equipment. My iPad sees and connects to everything else but not the mouse. I am able to connect the mouse fine to my HP laptop.
    I've checked the Apple website ant this logitech bluetooth mouse M557 (http://www.logitech.com/en-ch/product/bluetooth-mouse-m557) should connect to Mac OS and IPad 2.  Is that simply not true or am I doing something wrong.  I've checked the driver is up-to-date via laptop, I've restarted everything several times and I've tried googling to see if others have had an issue. The only think I've found is a way to "hack" my iPad but i REALLY don't want to do this!!
    Can anyone help me please?
    Thanks in advance!!

  • HOWTO: Enabling Forward, Back Buttons, Logitech MX1000 Mouse

    Enabling Forward and Back Buttons, Logitech MX1000 Mouse
    (and Microsoft Wireless Intellimouse Explorer, apparently)
    Step 1: Get, Install evdev
    ==========================
    First, use evdev as the Xorg mouse driver.
    Get this module, install it, and make sure it is loaded each time you run Linux.
    For Arch, this means:
    # pacman --sync xf86-input-evdev
    and adding "evdev" to the modules list in /etc/rc.conf.
    Step 2: Modify xorg.conf to Use evdev as Your Mouse Driver
    ==========================================================
    Next, in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, create an evdev-based input device that specifies your mouse:
    # evdev based section for Logitech MX1000 mouse
    Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Evdev Mouse"
    Driver "evdev"
    Option "Name" "Logitech USB Receiver"
    Option "CorePointer"
    EndSection
    Note: then "Name" field above is important. Find out the name for your device via:
    % egrep "Name|Handlers" /proc/bus/input/device
    In the case of the Logitech MX1000 mouse, which is wireless, it is: "Logitech USB Receiver".
    Step 3: Modify Xorg ServerLayout to Use Your evdev Mouse
    ========================================================
    Now modify the Xorg server layout to use this mouse entry:
    Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "Xorg Configured"
    Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
    InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
    InputDevice "Evdev Mouse" "CorePointer"
    # PS/2 Mouse not detected
    # Serial Mouse not detected
    EndSection
    Step 4: Do Some Button Mapping for The Forward and Back Buttons
    ===============================================================
    Now, add the following to your .xinitrc, or somewhere where it will be executed each time X starts:
    % xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 8 9 6 7"
    You will receive the warning:
        Warning: Only changing the first 9 of 20 buttons.
    Don't worry about this - it is normal.
    Finally, to get those pesky Forward and Back buttons working in some Gnome apps such as Nautilus,
    get and install xvkbd and xbindkeys. Now create file ~/.xbindkeysrc, containing:
    # Mouse Buttons
    "/usr/bin/xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Alt_L]\[Left]""
    m:0x0 + b:6
    "/usr/bin/xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Alt_L]\[Right]""
    m:0x0 + b:7
    "/usr/bin/xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Left]""
    m:0x0 + b:8
    "/usr/bin/xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Right]""
    m:0x0 + b:9
    and add the following to your .xinitrc, or somewhere where it will be executed each time X starts:
    % xbindkeys
    That is it! Simple n'est pas? :-)
    Many, many thanks to Arch forum member MrWeatherbee, who provided most of the key elements of the above - thanks!

    Hi Misfit138, I agree that the general ideas are there already in the Wiki, but even after reading that entry, I was not able to get things working. The existing entry is not specific enough to the MX1000 mouse. So, although I have never contributed to a Wiki before, I think it is likely a good idea to do so in this case. I will make sure that the entry is very MX1000 specific. It will address a small audience, but it is one way of giving back a little to the community.

  • [Solved] Touchpad recognized as Logitech Wheel Mouse

    I am trying to get my touchpad working on an Acer Aspire TimelineX AS4830T-6642 but the touchpad is being recognized as a "Logitech Wheel Mouse".
    I am unsure if the laptop is using an Elantech or Synaptics touchpad as it only seems to see the touchpad as a regular pointer. I have attached output that I think could be relevant. Let me know if anything else would be helpful.
