MX518 side buttons @ ubuntu :<

by FauLi • 26 Jan 2009, 18:18 • Forums › Technology
Hoi Crossfaya,

i'm not able to get my side buttons working...:(
Yes, I tried the tutorial of GaRg

I think it's something about HAL that I don't know :/

imwheel and xorg.conf are fine, maybe somebody has experienced something similar

ty in advance

Did you restart X? and the forums said it didn't work in konquer but it does in firefox

And I remember I did smth very familiar when I tried ubuntu and it did work even in ET.

did restart X ^^ well it's kinda weird...sidebuttons work fine in Firefox, even nautilus, but in ET, both sidebuttons are recognized as one (KP_EQUALS)...no idea what this is about :(

well my problem in ET was that the side buttons and the mouse wheel were switched, but I could just change the binds so not rly a problem.

In the other programs it worked fine :S
