Logitech MX700 mouse and FC2

[Dr. Michael J. Chudobiak]

Hi all,

Has anyone gotten the Logitech MX700 wireless mouse to work with FC2? If 
so, could you send me your X config file (xorg.conf or XF86Config), 
modprobe.conf, and grub.conf files?

My mouse wheel won't work. (I don't care about the side buttons - I know 
you need the imwheel package for those to work).

It worked before the FC1 to FC2 upgrade.

   Dammit - forgot to post my MX500 answer to the list.  I'll do that 
tomorrow;  yes, my MX700 worked fine under FC1 but needs a subtly diff. 
incantation in the config. file for FC2/Xorg.  Dunno why.

   You don't *need* imwheel for the extra buttons if you run sawfish 
instead of metacity for the extra cnofig. options, but it looks like it 
may be more useful anyway ... anyone RPM'd it yet?

   This Works For Me [TM]:

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier  "Logitech MX-700 Cordless Optical Mouse"
	Driver      "mouse"
	Option	    "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
	Option	    "Emulate3Buttons" "off"
         # Option	    "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
         Option	    "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
         Option      "AlwaysCore"
	Option	    "Buttons" "8"
	Option	    "ZAxisMapping" "7 8"
         Option      "SendCoreEvents" "yes"
	## Requires xmodmap -w 'pointer = 1 6 3 2 7 8 4 5'
EndSection


   Now - anyone got that last button working now 2.6 is here?
