Horizontal scrolling not working for Logitech LX5 mouse

Do you still have this problem in Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty)?

Side scrolling moves cursor left or right in gedit (one character at a time) on feisty (also tested xpdf and firefox).

Thanks for your bug report.

Please provide the following information:
1. How is your mouse connected to your PC: serial, PS/2, USB, USB wireless, ...
 For a USB mouse include the relevant output of the command lsusb on a terminal.
 What mechanism does your mouse use: ball mouse, optical, trackball, ...
 How many physical buttons and scrollwheels does you mouse have?
2. Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the mouse protocol to:
     Option "Protocol" "auto"
 change ZAxismapping to the following line:
     Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
3. Restart X with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace.
4. Open a terminal and enter the following commands:
 $ xmodmap -pp > ~/xmodmap-pp
 $ xev | grep button
 Put the mouse cursor into the rectangle and push your mouse buttons. Tell us which button number is reported, e.g. left = 1, vertical scrollwheel click = 3, vertical scrollwheel up = 4, horizontal scrollwheel left = 6, thumb button = 8, ...
5. Attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log and ~/xmodmap-pp to this bug report.

The LX5 mouse is not other mice, the left and right "tilt wheel" motion sends a keyboard scroll lock signal followed by a left or right keyboard cursor signal followed by another scroll lock signal. By adding Scroll_Lock to mod1 I was able to get firefox to go fwd/back, but alt-tab no longer worked, and clicking on windows did not select them, only clicking on the title bar. But it's useful even without that, you only have to hold down alt after all.

Using 7.07
Dell 1505 laptop.

LX5 tilt left and right still not working. I am going back to default setting for both mouse and keyboard (using generic setting in xorg). The xev show no action for both left and right tilt.

1 left click
2 wheel click
3 right click
4 scroll up
5 scroll down

nothing for left and right tilt.

Press down ALT with left tilt, webpage goes back to previous page
Press down ALT with right tilt, webpge goes go next page

Hi Pascal,

the mouse coming with s510 is optical ("laser")

I modified my xorg.conf as per your suggestion.

the left/right tilt gives no button output. if I see the complete output, it does: two times caps_lock followed by two times left or right, followed by two times caps_lock - i.e. key events no buttons.

attached the requested files. please let me know if I can help resolving this.

Best regards,
Ales

Still a problem in Ubuntu 8.04 or Intrepid, the current development version?

Can't enable horizontal scrolling for my Logitech Laser V150. xev keeps silent while turning wheel to the left/right.

(Ubuntu 8.04)

Working in Firefox3 in Intrepid 8.10

Not working in Firefox3 in Intrepid 8.10 64bit. What information should I supply?

Maybe trying ZAxisMapping "4 5 10 11" or "4 5 8 9" helps. If not, the mouse driver in the kernel needs to be taught about horizontal scrolling events which differ from each mouse unfortunately.

Still not working in Ubuntu 8.10 32 bit.

How can I help fixing this bug?

Is there any known solution or workaround?

Should be fixed as of Jaunty; if not, we've switched to the -evdev driver, so we'd need a new bug report if there's still issues.

Just tried this on 8.10 64 bit. It works fine here.
