Mouse Logitech M185 middle click not working

Post by mihaicris » 2015/10/06 08:08:40

Hi,

I have a wireless mouse, Logitech M185, middle-click does not work.
I launched xev and checked, every cursor movement, button click or wheel up/down produces output except wheel-click which doesn't.
That means the wheel-click "paste" is not working... at all, not in terminal, not in text editors, regardless of the Desktop environment.

xorg.conf section (if it matters):

Code: Select all

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "Mouse0"
    Driver         "mouse"
    Option         "Protocol" "auto"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
    Option         "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
    Option         "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Some ordinary wired mice (either USB or PS2) have no problems.
Is there anything I could try?

As root, install xinput from base:

Code: Select all

yum install xorg-x11-server-utils
Then list your input devices:

Code: Select all

xinput list
Does it list your mouse? If it does, query its capabilities with

Code: Select all

xinput list "Your mouse name here"
Substitute "Your mouse name here" with your actual mouse name, e.g. "Logitech M185 Wireless Mouse". Also, no xorg.conf section should be becessary for your mouse to work as advertised (my "Logitech G400s Optical Gaming Mouse" didn't need any configuration at all).
Root is evil: Do not use root (sudo) to run any of the commands specified in my posts unless explicitly indicated. Please, provide the necessary amount of context to understand your problem/question.

No... my mouse is not listed:

Code: Select all

xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer                    	id=2	[master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer              	id=4	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Logitech USB Receiver                   	id=8	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Logitech USB Receiver                   	id=9	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ HID 046a:0023                           	id=11	[slave  pointer  (2)]

⎜   ↳ Microsoft Microsoft® 2.4GHz Transceiver v8.0	id=14	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard                   	id=3	[master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard             	id=5	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                            	id=6	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                            	id=7	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ HID 046a:0023                           	id=10	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Microsoft Microsoft® 2.4GHz Transceiver v8.0	id=12	[slave  keyboard (3)]
In the meantime I found another wireles Microsoft mouse that works.
I tried using Solaar but it requires "logitech-djreceiver driver enabled and loaded".
Could not find that driver anywhere...
