[Allan Gottlieb]

It seems to me that this mouse sends two button events for some of the
"physical buttons".  For example moving the wheel to the left reports
   button press 13
   button press 6
   button release 6
   button release 13

Similar results for the many other buttons on the beast.

Is this what the device actually does or does it signify a faulty X
setup on my part?

I have the evdev driver in my kernel.

I use xorg.conf and have
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "Logitech MX1000"
    Driver         "evdev"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/input/event2"
EndSection

To clarify a bit, what program are you using to identify the mouse events?

I looked up the Logitech MX 1000 on amazon.com, and the photos show only
one wheel, which is front-to-back, not left-to-right.  Am I getting this
wrong?

I used xev and also looked at emac's "view lossage".
The wheel rotates front-to-back, but can be pushed left or right.

If you look at the amazon page you can sort of see the left and right
arrows.

Thanks for any help you can give.

I think a mouse that complicated would make me crazy.  The front-back wheel
rotation should map to buttons 4 and 5.  Does that part work correctly?

There was a time when Windows and Mac users criticized X11 because it
had too many buttons (3).

Nowadays, Windows users seem to require 20 different buttons, wheels,
knobs, and whatever else they can throw on a pointer device, whereas
Macs seem to want to get rid of buttons altogether but require the user
to do cartwheels and other acrobatics with their fingers in order to do
a simple cut/paste.

FWIW, I have a Logitech mouse with a wheel that scrolls up and down,
presses down, and clicks left and right.  All seem to work fine, except
I don't use the latter as I haven't found any purpose for it although I
could possibly see it replacing ALT-Tab.  Nah... to confusing.

What settings do you use for all those events? I have a mouse with right/left
buttons, scroll wheel that also tilts right/left, and two side buttons.
Nothing works atm but regular right/left, scroll wheel to scroll and press to
paste, and side buttons. So scroll wheel tilt does nothing.

I didn't make any settings other than all of my input devices in X are
evdev managed and queried via hal.

Right.  Mine (MX 1000) has those plus others (I inherited the mouse).
My problem is that several of these send multiple events (i.e. clicking
one physical button results in two button-down events for different X11
buttons and then the corresponding two button-up events).

I wonder how to handle this.  Actually, I have trouble believing it so
wonder if I have some config wrong, but mine are very simple configs.

Perhaps it does something and the app ignores it.
xev will settle that question.

Also, are you using the right driver.  I use xorg.conf and have
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "Logitech MX1000"
    Driver         "evdev"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/input/event2"

That's why I was wondering if just a simple front-or-back turn of the
wheel also produces two different button events for each notch -- you
should see only button-4 events for forward and only button-5 events for
backward.  (I actually see two button-4 events for each notch forward,
but the 'state' differs between the first and second event.)

You get one event for ButtonPress and one event for ButtonRelease

I don't have the mouse with me to check, but ran xev on it last night
and only saw one event for left-right wheel (button6 and button7 iirc).
Could it be perhaps there are 2 (X11) drivers listneing on this device
or are you using GPM or something like that?

Unlike Windows, where I'd have to download a 50 Meg file from logitech to make 
the tilt wheel work, everything's there in Xorg, and mplayer automatically 
uses the left and right click to skip forward and backward. Horizontal 
scrolling in browser windows works as well - out of the box.

Isn't linux great :-)

Correct.  Remember that on the left or right motion I received two
presses and two releases for two different "X-buttons".

This same thing happens for other physical buttons on the beast.
Fortunately the two main buttons give just button 1 and button 3
respectively.
Another button just gives button 2 and the wheel rotation give button 4
in one direction and 5 in the other.  So it does work as a wheeled mouse
if I ignore all the other physical buttons.

That sounds promising, but I see no evidence in the log file.
I assume this line
  (==) NVIDIA(0): Silken mouse enabled
doesn't count as the NVIDIA is a display driver and I see nothing
relevent in the doc that came with it.

I do have two InputDevice sections in xorg.conf about the mouse, but my
ServerLayout only mentions one.  I attach both my log and xorg.conf
below.

Thanks for helping.

If you are using evdev (and you are) you should delete (or comment out)
anything to do with Input from your xorg.conf, e.g. these sections:

Section "InputDevice"
     Identifier     "Keyboard0"
     Driver         "kbd"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
     Identifier     "Mouse0"
     Driver         "mouse"
     Option         "Protocol" "auto"
     Option         "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
     Option         "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection

and also remove/comment these lines from ServerLayout:
     InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
     InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"

The evdev driver is intended to replace *all* of that stuff.

BTW, I remember having a section like this in my xorg.conf, but
I don't have it any longer and I don't think you really need it:
Section "InputDevice"
     Identifier     "Logitech MX1000"
     Driver         "evdev"
     Option         "Device" "/dev/input/event2"
EndSection

I think that the evdev driver is loaded by default now, so you
don't need to mention it in xorg.conf.

Caveat:  I needed to add /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-x11-logitech.fdi
to replace two lines in my xorg.conf because my mouse has four
buttons and no wheel.  You obviously don't have that problem, so
I think your mouse should Just Work without any extra fdi files.

Yes, but those lines are effectively "commented out".
I have three ServerLayout sections but only the first counts (see
excerpt from the xorg.conf man page below).  The first ServerLayout
section (the "active one") references the logitech mouse and not mouse0
so the mouse driver is not loaded at all.

I do specify the keyboard, but that is working fine.

I do not use the hal stuff.  I was scared off by the horror stories
reported here.  Perhaps this summer I will give it a go.

thanks again for helping,

SERVERLAYOUT SECTION
       The config file may have multiple ServerLayout sections.  A
       "server layout" represents the binding of one or more screens
       (Screen sections) and one or more input devices (InputDevice
       sections) to form a complete configuration.  In multi-head
       configurations, it also specifies the relative layout of the
       heads.  A ServerLayout section is considered "active" if it is
       referenced by the -layout command line option or by an Option
       "DefaultServerLayout" entry in the ServerFlags section (the
       former takes precedence over the latter).  If those options are
       not used, the first ServerLayout section found in the config file
       is con- sidered the active one.  If no ServerLayout sections are
       present, the single active screen and two active (core) input
       devices are selected as described in the relevant sections above.

As I recall, the fix for this problem is a sys-adm/lomoco.

Logitech mice actually produce those double events...  lomoco allows you
tell the mouse to stop.  I've got a udev rule for it, I think lomoco put
it there, but I've had logitech MX mice for years and lomoco is a fork
of a fork and may no longer contain the udev script.

You also might look into imwheel from the Mandrake distrabution as it
contains patches to deal with more than 10 buttons.

Magnificent!! I did really think the mouse could be sending
button events for two different logical buttons when only one physical
button was pushed.  That got me looking at xorg.conf to see where I
screwed up.  But, as you said, the MX mice do send events for two
buttons.

As you also said lomoco fixes it.

"sudo lomoco --nosms" is now in my startup script.

Thank you very much !
