Re: Bug#356618: xserver-xorg: request for mouse navigation button support in X

[Janne Kujanpaa <jikuja@utu.fi>]

I'm using evdev driver from cvs and I have following hardware¹ and
configuration². All buttons works and I don't need to run xmodmap to
alter button orders.

Udev rules are one way to find correct Device, but driver won't work
with symlinks etc... I think it's better to wait for 7.1 and users space
input hotplug support for evdev. But of course you can use Name/Phys
options to specify right device to use.

And btw I think, you need to disable cruise control in order to use last
tree buttons via evdev. Use
http://freshmeat.net/projects/logitech_applet/ or
http://www.bedroomlan.org/~alexios/coding_lmctl.html to disable it.
Anyone willing to ITP those?
