Anyone got this M$ Wireless Laser Mouse 5000? I would like to see how I can configure this mouse for kanotix to work like in Windows. It has 4-way scrolling so when you move the wheel sideways you can scroll left and right. Clicking the wheel should make it act as a 3rd button. Also it has 2 side buttons that can be set to work as back/forward buttons.
Not sure how to set this up in xorg.conf. Any ideas?
Thanks
piper

I use the Logitech MX700 and I cannot get it (2 buttons on the side) to work.

Try this. It should be all you need on Kanotix.
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "EV Mouse"
Driver "evdev"
# Work out the following eventX via "cat /proc/bus/input/devices"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event2"
EndSection
