btnx: Send keyboard and mouse combination events with mouse buttons
If you find this tool useful, please help others use it by translating it into another language: btnx-config @ Launchpad (http://launchpad.net/btnx-config).
Latest versions:
btnx-0.4.11 - ChangeLog (http://svn.ollisalonen.com/btnx/trunk/ChangeLog)
btnx-config-0.4.9 - ChangeLog (http://svn.ollisalonen.com/btnx-config/trunk/ChangeLog)
btnx (Button Extension) is a daemon that enables rerouting of mouse button events through uinput as keyboard and other mouse button combinations. For example, you can configure an extra mouse button to send a Ctrl+Alt+Right command to switch workspaces. You can also configure buttons to execute commands. This is especially useful for mice with more buttons than Gnome or KDE can properly handle, or mice that need evdev and a 100 step howto to register button events at all.
btnx-config is GUI for detecting and configuring your mouse. You must use btnx-config with btnx. btnx integrates revoco functionality for MX Revolution users, which is editable from btnx-config.
btnx should work with almost any mouse that is configured properly.
The btnx manual is available at: http://www.ollisalonen.com/btnx/man
btnx is known to work on:
(K)Ubuntu 7.04
(K)Ubuntu 7.10
(K)Ubuntu 8.04
Note: Users with an MX or VX Revolution: if you have problems with the thumb buttons, refer to the btnx manual's troubleshooting section 12.2.1 for better xorg.conf values.
