Hey, at some point in upgrading packages in hoary (apparently) this has stopped working in Nautilus. Any clue why that may be?

I did the steps outlined but my mouse didn't respond the way it was supposed to. My wheel is now my fwd page and back page and my thumb buttons are up and down without repeat. I'm thinking it is in the imwheelrc file. Can you give more info on the options in imwheel, so that I can try to remap my buttons.

It sounds like the xmodmap didn't work. Check that you created the startup script correctly.

Hmm... never did work in Nautilus for me.

Bob K: excellent glad its working for you!

zen: poop. Why did it work for me? Come to think of it, it may not have worked for me in Ubuntu ever, but it DID work in Gentoo. Probably different configuration, I guess the hotkeys are different in Nautilus.

Perhaps, but I wish you hadn't mentioned it.

I'll poke around and see what I can do.

interesting. However I got my Logiteck mx700 to work with hoary (xorg) by just installing imwheel and editing the xorg.conf file by adding the buttons option to 7 and the type from IMPS/2 to ExplorerPS/2. Might work without imwheel and in warty.

Edit: I found an old copy. Puh!
