This short how to tells how to make a 7button mouse work in opensuse..
Here are the default key mappings of the mouse :
> Button 1 = Left - click > > > Button 2 = Right - click > > Scroll Buttons > > Left side lower = Firefox back page > >> Right side lower = Firefox next page
Open a terminal with su previleges..Then type in the following : > gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf I assume you are working on GNOME...otherwise use kate or anyother text editor.Search for the section Input Device for mouse…Replace the text block with..
> Section "InputDevice" > > > Driver "mouse" > > Identifier "Mouse[1]" > > Option "Buttons" "7" > > Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" > > Option "Name" "TrackMan Optical" > > Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" > > Option "Vendor" "Logitech" > > Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7" > >> EndSection
Then change the xmodmap mappings in the following way... > xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5" Add the above command to the session startup or you need to execute that command each time you start your session..
