Fedora7 Guest: Logitech TrackMan Marble+ 3. Button/Wheel does not work

Hi @ll,

how should my InputDevice section within xorg.conf look like for my Logitech TrackMan Marble+ to use all 3 Buttons and the Wheel? At the moment only the left and right Button is working. I tried a lot of settings but the only success I had was that Emulate3Buttons worked. Is it possible to get the 3. Button and the Wheel running in a Fedora7-VM at all?

I'm running Windows XP Professional as host on a DELL Latitude D620 in a Dockingstation with a Logitech TrackMan Marble+ connected to the Dockingstation.

In VMware Workstation 5.5.4 build-44386 I'm running a Fedora7 guest - the VMware-Tools are installed.

  • Kernel 2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 #1 SMP

  • xorg-x11-drv-vmware-10.14.1-1.fc7

  • xorg-x11-drv-vmmouse-12.4.0-2.1

  • VMware-Tools-5.5.4-44386

  • mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice

In Xorg.0.log you can see LoadModule: "vmmouse" and LoadModule: "mouse"

Any help is appreciated.

Kind Regards Christian Witt

Hi again,

I made further tests and found out that with

xorg.conf:

...

Section "InputDevice"

Identifier "VMMouse"

Driver "vmmouse"

Option "device" "/dev/input/mice"

EndSection

the wheel is working Smiley Happy)) but not the 3rd Mousebutton Smiley Sad

Any help is appreciated.

Kind regards Christian Witt
