Keyboards and Keyboard/Mice Combo Sets

[OliW89]

Hello,

I have bought the Cordless Desktop EX 100 to use it with Linux (Ubuntu 9.04). http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard_mice_combos/devices/4334&cl=us,en

But I can’t use the Mouse Wheel to scroll (example: up and down scrolling in a window or an Internet Browser).

In Windows the mouse wheel works well, so it is not defect.

I know, that Logitech don’t make special driver for Linux, but can anyone give me a tip that I can use the mouse wheel in Linux?

The Keyboard and the Mice are very good (yes I’m a Logitech fan^^) therefore, I would not buy another model but I really need the Mouse Wheel function.

In Linux you can edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf (as root). Look for a section like this:

 Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Configured Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/mice"
        Option          "Protocol"              "ImPS/2"
        Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "false"

EndSection

Insert the next lines above EndSection:

        Option          "Buttons"               "5"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"

Restart your X server, rebooting is often the simplest way to do so, this should enable your mousewheel.

Succes !!!

When I open "xorg.conf" the file is blank (no text into the File)

I´ve copy your text and add the 2 lines. But after the Restart the the Mouse Wheel don´t work

I know this might not help you at this point, but it may help others. I am using an EX 100 (Y-RBH94) with Ubuntu Linux 11.04. The keys and buttons on the keyboard and mouse work for me. However, since Logitech is not providing Linux software, the multimedia keys are not working. I guess that's kind of what I expected, but it's still disappointing. Logitech, please at least provide your API for developers if you're not willing to do the work yourselves.
