Re: [Bluez-devel] Logitech MX900 mouse with Dell Inspiron 8600

Hi,

I have still some small glitches with my MX900. I have done the
following procedure :

1. XFree patch

I patched my XFree (gentoo xfree-4.3.99.16) with this patch
(http://www.yhbt.net/normalperson/files/linux/LogitechMX_kernel_and_X_patch/4.3.0-XFree86_logitech_ps2.patch), to make it understand PS/2+ protocol. Do I need this for the MX900 ?

2. bthid patches

- started with the bthid 0.8 stock source
- applied Edd Dumbill's uinput patch
- applied Olivier Bornet's patch-bthid-0.6-for-lt.txt
- modified out.c to use /dev/misc/uinput (Marcel says devfs produce
this, I don't see exactly what I do wrong or what I should do to get
/dev/input/uinput).

3. XF86Config-4

--------
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier              "LogitechUSBMouse"
        Driver                  "mouse"
        Option "Protocol"       "ExplorerPS/2"
        Option "Device"         "/dev/input/mice"
        Option "ZAxisMapping"   "7 8"
        Option "Resolution"     "800"
        Option "SmartScroll"    "1"
        Option "Buttons"        "8"
        Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
EndSection
----------------

works : 

- mouse movements : clean, precise, perfect
- buttons : 1,2,3 (2 = wheel-press)

problems :

- wheel doesn't work, even if I see button-7 and button-8 in xev output when I move the wheel.

do I use the correct protocol ?

Hints welcome...

TIA,
Charles
