When I was configuring my computer that I use at work, I ran into some problems with my mice. At work (Netlash) I am using a Logitech mx 3200 cordless laser desktop set.
Searching through the ubuntu forums I couldn’t find anything about the mx3200 set. So the buttons on my mice were completly useless. After a lot of surfing around, I discoverd that the mice used in the set is a MX600.
So if you have the same set use the tutorial below to configure your mice to work correctly.
First backup you xorg.conf
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backupSecond edit the xorg.conf
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.confSearch for the mouse-configuration and change it to the code below.
Section “InputDevice”Identifier “Configured Mouse”
Driver “mouse”
Option “CorePointer”
Option “Device” “/dev/input/mice”
Option “Protocol” “auto”
Option “Buttons” “7″
Option “ZAxisMapping” “4 5″
Option “ButtonMapping” “1 2 3 6 7 4 5 6″
EndSection
Save the xorg.conf and press control + alt + backspace.
Hope this helps.
