Hi Guys, I have been fooling around with scrollong mice and SuSE 8.2 and the KDE control center handles them well. But my favorite 'pointing device' is a Logitech Marble Mouse (funny name for a track ball, I know) This is the symetrical 9ball in the middle) trackball w/ 2 buttons. They have a new modle that has an additional 2 small switches just for up and down scrolling. I don't know how this works in Linux, X and KDE; it is not a wheel, so may be implimented in the Windows driver. Has anyone of you gotten this unit to work on our beloved SuSE? Thanks to ALL ................

I have the "Logitech TrackMan marble+" and it works perfectly. Three buttons plus a wheel for scrolling, that I think is equivalent to a pair of switches. XF86Config configures it as a 5 button unit, with "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

I use a Logitech Trackman Marble FX (the ergonomic model, not the
symmetric one). It has four mouse buttons and I use the fourth one (the
red one) to simulate the scroll wheel by keeping it pressed while moving
up and down (and left and right, too!). Here's the relevant part from my
/etc/X11/XF86Config:
[SNIP]
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "mouse"
Identifier "Trackball"
Option "Buttons" "4"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Name" "AutoDetected"
Option "Protocol" "MouseManPlusPS/2"
Option "XAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "YAxisMapping" "6 7"
Option "EmulateWheel" "1"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "4"
Option "EmulateWheelInertia" "12"
EndSection
[SNIP]
Hope that helps!
Bye,
LenZ

Have to read the man pages and followed to links to: http://www.xfree86.org/current/mouse6.html#28 http://www.xfree86.org/current/mouse7.html I found that if you have a second mouse that doesn't have seven buttons the extra buttons can not be mapped to something useful.
