logitech mouse mx510 on Debian Sid and 'unclean' events

["H. S." <greatexcalibur@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I am trying to fully configure a Logitech MX510 (10 buttons) mouse on a Debian
Sid box. I am running 2.6.10-1-686 Debian kernel.

I have tried quite a few thing after searching from google and have actually
met with some success, but there is still a lot to do.

What does work now is: up and down scrolling, left, middle and right button
clicks. The two side buttons work but are seen as different clicks (more about
this later).

What does not work: CTRL+WHEEL-UP-DOWN does not change font size in FireFox.
The side buttons do not give 'clean' events. Neither do the two buttons on the
front and back side of the wheel.

When I press on of the side buttons and the little round buttons on top, they
give different events when they are fully depressed than when they are
released. For example, one gives shows 4 button event when depressed but 9
when it is released. I can get the side buttons to work by using a
.xbindkeysrc file in my home:
#########################
"xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Alt_L]\[Left]""
m:0x10 + b:9
"xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Alt_L]\[Right]""
m:0x10 + b:10
#########################


Here are the relevant stanzas in /etc/X11/XF86-config-4:

By commenting out the "Generic Mouse" line, I get some cleaning up of the
events in button pressed (or I may be imagining it).

What am I missing here and whats the deal with mixed mouse events? If somebody
has MX510 working, it would great to know how. And if you can post your
/etc/X11/XF86config-4, it would be great.

thanks,
->HS
