让ubuntu7.10支持多键鼠标

我的双飞燕鼠标的边键在firefox下无法前进后退，很不方便。查一下xorg.conf multibuttons 大概步骤如下：


1.       sudo apt-get install imwheel

2.       修改一下xorg.conf的配置。sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf



Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
        Option          "Buttons"               "7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
        Option          "ButtonMapping"         "1 2 3 6 7"
EndSection

protocol 改为"ExplorerPS/2"
buttons 改为7，原来为5

3.  修改imwheel自动在图形的时候启动

sudo vi /etc/X11/imwheel/startup.conf

# Set this to "1" to make imwheel start along with your X session.
IMWHEEL_START=1

4. sudo vi /etc/X11/imwheel/imwheelrc

增加下面两行，为了定制在firefox里向前向后的功能。
"^firefox$"
None, Left, Alt_L|Left
None, Right, Alt_L|Right

退出登录，再ctrl+alt+退格键重启gnome. 再进来，打开firefox，边上的向前向后键就启作用了。


注：
几个常用的命令能帮助检测按键的编号

#xev

#imwheel -c 
点grab wheel action,然后滚动鼠标，会显示buttion的编号以及在imwheel里的可以使用的名字，如Left,Right
