Hi, I have been using a Logitech Marble Mouse trackball and a Logitech optical mouse with Leap 15.2/KDE for quite a while. Trackball left-hand-mapping, and an optical mouse right-hand-mapping (one computer, two users)

I left the the optical-mouse-setting as it came with the system, and added for the trackball the configuration below. Works the way I like it.

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf in Leap 15.2/KDE-Plasma ---------------------------------------------------------------- Section "InputClass" Identifier "Marble Mouse" MatchProduct "Logitech USB Trackball" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Driver "libinput" # default button assignments. # Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9" # right-hand-mapping # Option "ButtonMapping" "1 8 3 4 5 6 7 2 9" # left-hand-mapping Option "ButtonMapping" "3 8 1 4 5 6 7 2 9" Option "ScrollMethod" "button" # Option "ScrollButton" "8" Option "ScrollButton" "9" # Option "MiddleEmulation" "on" # use instead Buttonmapping "3 8 1 ... 9" EndSection ----------------------------------------------------------------

But not so with Leap 15.3 RC Gnome or with the current Tumbleweed XFCE.

It seems that /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ is not used except for a keyboard-configuration file in Tumbleweed XFCE. It is still there in Leap 15.3 RC KDE-Plasma.

How could I get the trackball functionality in Tumbleweed XFCE?

perhaps it has moved, /etc/X11/ => /usr/etc/X11/ -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode

Unlikely, that shouldn't happen till Leap 16, either way best bet is to file a bug report. Cheers -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B

You were right. It has been moved to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ It seems my problem was not in but in front of my computer.
