My MX500 is working just fine. Here what I do: - Install imwheel (/usr/ports/x11/imwheel)=20 - Add this to ~/.imwheelrc=20 ".*" None, Up, Alt_L|Left,1 None, Down, Alt_L|Right,1 "(null)" None, Up, Alt_L|Left,1 None, Down, Alt_L|Right,1 =20 - In my x.org <http://x.org/>; file.. For the InputDevice section:=20 Option "Buttons" "7" Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7" =20 - Finaly, I run these two commands on Xwindows start:=20 imwheel -b "67" & xmodmap -e "pointer =3D 1 2 3 6 7 4 5" It works #1 with my logitech MX500 mouse (I tested on xfce4 and kde). The= =20 only problem I have is that my app button is not working but I wasn't using= =20 it in windows anyway so I don't need it. The tumbs buttons are working #1 i= n=20 Firefox and Konqueror.
