I've found a few questions about trying to get this to work, I managed to do it, and thought I'd share:
- get the evdev driver here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=1745 - to install, run ./configure --prefix=/usr/X11R6, then make, make install. - edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf like this:
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "evdev" Option "Protocol" "evdev" Option "Dev Name" "Microsoft Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 1.00" Option "Dev Phys" "usb-*/input0" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event2" Option "Buttons" "9" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" # wheel moves forward/back in the browser EndSection
To figure out the "Dev Name", "Dev Phys" and "Device" settings cat /proc/bus/input/devices.
I haven't gotten the tilt wheel to work yet, but everything else is good. You may want to swap buttons 2 and 3 as well using xmodmap.
