Mageia forum

OK, under Mageia Control Center - Hardware - Setup Pointing Device, it shows my mouse as Universal - Any PS/2 or USB mouse.
I have a Logitech M185 wireless mouse that has 2 regular buttons, a wheel, and the wheel itself is also the 3rd button.
I want to configure this a little more accurately, so as to be able to control buttons, and such.
About the only item I have noticed that is "correct", is under the System Tray - Hidden icons the battery monitor actually sees the mouse battery telemetry. And as far as I can tell this is accurate.
Being the receiver for this mouse is of course USB, are any of the choices unser USB in the MCC area described above a more "accurate" description? The only 1 that seems to come closer is the one titled "Wheel", and the other that I am wondering about is "Generic 3 button mouse with wheel emulation".
I am still searching to see if there is something out on the net for a "driver" but so far no luck.

Any ideas here? As I said I would like to assign buttons on this but the item for mouse under System Settings - Hardware - Input Devices has NO mention of button assignmnets. Or is this contained elsewhere?

Thanks.

under KDE

system settings (not MCC)

input devices, this usualy has more about the device and its options.

I know the trackpad part gave me many more options for my elantec pad.

may help with your mouse.otherwise its playing around with xorg.conf

or

xinput --list-props and xinput set-int-prop

@wintpe:
I just looked in the xorg.conf file, and the only items there pertain to my video card and monitor.
Also have tried both xinput --list-props as well as xinput set-int-prop as both myself and after using su and in all times I kept getting told no such command.
Thanks for the input, but my system (which, and this is for doktor5000, if he looks at this post, is a fresh and new install of Mageia 4 KDE) has always been annoying and seems to never play by the rules as it were.

I shall have to keep digging. BTW, just an FYI, I have been seeing a LOT of articles stating that xorg.conf is basically a dinosaur and is in "most" installs not needed anymore. Except in those rare instances when hardware is the kind to make headaches VERY likely...like having my old video card .

Basically that is correct. Since a few years it is not required anymore, everything is being auto-detected. Only in case you want to change/enforce some settings it is still required.
