I have a Logitech MX620 mouse. I have it working under Suse 10.x. If I run xev I can see all 9 button clicks and releases.

Problem is in VO I can't seem to use any buttons but left, middle, right, and the scroll wheel. I was told that the extra buttons are XMBUTTON1, XMBUTTON2, etc. If I bind these to a command (+Shoot3 for instance) they never fire.

Anyone have any ideas?

As a follow up, I used xmodmap to change the mapping order to map button 8 as the middle mouse button and that works ok. So the issue seems to be not the mouse itself, but how the buttons get mapped in VO.

Here is what I am trying:

/bind XMBUTTON5 +Shoot3

Is that not correct?

Can you post the output of xev? Maybe the event ids we're using are different.
What you are doing should be correct.

Ray,

Here's the xev output for all 9 buttons. The mouse is a Logitech MX620, and I am using Suse Linux 10. For now I have mapped button 8 (one of the thumb buttons) to the middle button position (normally the wheel click or button 2) in order to be able to use it in game.

As I said, no matter what the button order, VO only sees the first 3 buttons plus the wheel scroll evens (buttons 4&5). Other Linux apps, like Firefox, can see those events plus wheel left and right -- so the mouse appears to be working fine from a Linux perspective.

Thanks for the help!

xev output follows:

BUTTON 1: (LEFT BUTTON)

Weird, it doesn't show what the event ids actually are. I was expecting some 32 bit number.

What are you doing with xmodmap to change your keys? I am not 100% familiar with using that.

Hmm, looking at the X code, this is the button order:
Button 1: LMBUTTON
Button 2: MMBUTTON
Button 3: RMBUTTON
Button 4: MWHEELUP
Button 5: MWHEELDOWN
Button 6: XMBUTTON1
Button 7: XMBUTTON2
Button 8: XMBUTTON3
Button 9: XMBUTTON4
Button 10: XMBUTTON5
Button 11: XMBUTTON6
Button 12: XMBUTTON7
Button 13: XMBUTTON8

Where Button X is the button value from X and LMBUTTON,etc... are the names in VO.

Do the higher buttons show up if you use the bind interface in Options->Keyboard?

Odd, if I bind them that way the work ok?

Oh, well -- they work that's the important thing. Thanks for the help Ray.

Next project is getting my new G15 keyboard working. I have to get g15tools running on the linux box, but are there any tricks to using the G keys in VO, and will VO write to the display?

This is a thread about the G keys on a Logitech G15 keyboard in Linux.
http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/6/17614

I do not have LCD output working in Linux, though. I'm using win32 API calls to render text in the windows version and haven't written replacement functions.

I saw the other thread.

Just wanted to comment that I have the same issue as logrus as far as binding the G keys. I can bind them manually, but I cannot bind them through the UI.

Keep up the good work!
