Logitech MX Revolution Mouse Problems, wheel button

[William M. Quarles]

Hi,

I recently installed Fedora 15 after a long respite from Fedora 14, for 
the first time in x86_64, and I was excited to see that I could finally 
use the wheel button on my MX Logitech Revolution mouse as the "middle" 
button for opening new tabs in Firefox and for instant select-copy-paste 
(I'm not sure what the official name is for that feature, but I used to 
love it). I don't think that the other more accessory buttons on the MX 
Revolution used to work either, but now most of them do (namely Search, 
Forward, and Back).

**However, after my first session in Fedora 15, the wheel button stopped 
working as the middle button.** This is becoming very cumbersome I know 
that these new Logitech mice are screwy in that they don't register with 
the computer automatically as the middle button in MS Windows either and 
you have to set it to do so using software, but it appeared that someone 
made a software fix to this issue in Fedora too that unfortunately 
didn't stick. When in text mode (runlevel 3), I can do the 
select-copy-paste [sic] still by doing some trick of clicking the search 
and wheel buttons in some sort of quick sequence, but it is so hard to 
do that it only works some of the time, and it still does not work at 
all in X11.

I did manage to trash my system trying to install the nVidia drivers 
from RPMFusion which are outdated and incompatible with my card so that 
I couldn't start X11 anymore and at the time did not have an easy way of 
figuring out fixing the issue, so I reinstalled Fedora 15. Same thing 
happened again, the wheel button functioned as the middle button and 
worked on the first session and then did not work again after that. So 
the issue is reproducible.

Does anybody know how I might go about fixing this issue more 
permanently? If there is a bug report that should be filed on this, what 
package should I report it against?

Thanks,
William
