How to enable the extra buttons for a Logitech mouse on Ubuntu

I recently bought a VX Nano mouse from Logitech for my notebook, which runs Ubuntu 9.04 "Jaunty Jackalope". This nice laser-mouse has two extra buttons on the side and a tilt wheel, which can be used e.g. to scroll horizontally.

The mouse was recognized immediatly but the extra buttons didn't work, so I had to configure them myself.

Here is how I did it:

First I got the vendor and product id by typing

$ cat /proc/bus/input/devices

 

which gave me:

I: Bus=0003 Vendor=046d Product=c526 Version=0111
N: Name="Logitech USB Receiver"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:1d.0-1/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb6/6-1/6-1:1.0/input/input15
U: Uniq=    
H: Handlers=mouse2 event9 
B: EV=17
B: KEY=ffff0000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: REL=143
B: MSC=10

 
so my vendor-id is 0x46d and the product-id ist 0xc526

Then I used

$ xev | grep button

 
to get the numbers the mouse buttons have. For me it was 6 and 7 for the tilt wheel and 8 and 9 for the forward-backward-buttons.

Finaly I added the file

20-x11-logitech.fdi

 
in the folder

/etc/hal/fdi/policy

 
with the content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
  <device>
    <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.mouse">
    <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evdev</merge>
    <!-- Logitech tweaks -->
    <match key="@input.originating_device:usb.vendor_id" int="0x46d">
      <match key="@input.originating_device:usb.product_id" int="0xc526">
          <merge key="input.x11_options.HWHEELRelativeAxisButtons" type="integer">6 7</merge>
          <merge key="input.x11_options.ZAxisMapping" type="integer">9 8</merge>
      </match>
    </match>
    </match>
  </device>
</deviceinfo>

  

After a restart of HAL with

$ sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart

 
the mouse buttons and the tilt wheel work perfectly. ^^
