3m ergo mouse wheel scrolling 14.04

rated 0 times [ 0] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 791 / 2 Years ago, fri, april 22, 2022, 7:36:37

I hope someone can help with this. Previously in Ubuntu 12 I was able to follow these instructions to get my mouse wheel to work. In 14.04, the hal-* functions no longer work and I cannot seem to find a replacement. This poster tried, but the reply there only works if you know the path on Ubuntu from what I understand.

I basically would like to add this:

Section "InputClass"

    Identifier "Middle Mouse Button Scrolling"

    MatchProduct "Areson USB Device"

    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"

    Option "EmulateWheel" "true"

    Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"

    Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7"

    Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5"

EndSection

Here /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ but I need to be able to fill in the "MatchProduct" field with the device name as installed.

Thank you very much for any help or suggestions you might have!

You can get information about the USB devices udev has processed by entering:

lsusb -v

And then scroll through the (kind of voluminous) output to find the device you need to know about.

You can also find some information on all devices by looking in /var/log/udev as follows:

less /var/log/udev

Enter /input/mouse to find the first matching mouse processing. Type n to see subsequent mentions. The first / in /input/mouse tells the less program to find what follows: input/mouse.
