HOWTO: thumb buttons

[TravisNewman]

OK maybe I won't be adding to the wiki, I didn't know you had to have special privileges for adding pages to it. If anyone with privileges wants to add it, I have it in ReST format already if you want to put it up, or alternatively, if someone can tell me how to get these privileges, I'll put it up.

Edit: I still don't know why I was getting that error, but it saved it anyway.

This HOWTO made my night. Ive gotten so many obscure things working in Linux, and this always eluded me in Slackware. I copied and pasted my way to victory. Thanks so much.

Excellent, glad to hear that it's working for you! I'm always here to help (and to get help)!

Step 2: Installing imwheel:

Now we need to install imwheel using apt-get:

$ sudo apt get install imwheel

or by using synaptic to find and install it.

Hmm ... can't find imwheel

when I type $ sudo apt-get install imwheel

I get:

Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package imwheel

and I can't find it using synaptic

Enable Universe repository, reload.

[TravisNewman]

You have to enable universe. There's a thread in the how-to forum about how to do this.

Edit: aaahhh you beat me to it

Alright here is something I haven't been able to do. Get my MX-510 forward / back buttons to work with firefox. It's simply not working even after IMwheel. Roar?

[TravisNewman]

did you do all the steps? Editing the config, the xmodmap, imwheel, all of it?

It might use a different mapping, I dunno.

Just about everything...I'll get it working later today lol. I'm determined.
