For health reasons I use an Evoluent Mouse type 3 on my machine. For years I've not been able to use it fully as I have lacked the skills necessary to remap the buttons.
But bouyed up by the success of making the latest install work, I thought I'd give it another go. I found this site - http://quandtum.weebly.com/2/post/2012/03/how-to-change-mouse-button-functio... and this one - http://denishaine.wordpress.com/2011/12/01/evoluent-mouse-with-ubuntu-11-04-... but neither tell me how to configure a double-click. I've looked how I map the buttons in Windows but that uses an XML file which seems to bear little resemblance to the mapping used in linux.
I have already tried to map the buttons to other functions but that hasn't worked so I need to do some more work on that and although I might be able to resolve those issues, there's one I can't. That one thing is a double click. In Windows I have button 2 (3 in linux!) configured to act as a double click but I can't seem to do that here.
This page refers to some software - btnx - that isn't available on this distro - http://www.ghacks.net/2011/06/28/how-to-customize-extra-mouse-buttons-in-lin... so I'm a bit stuck. Does anyone here know of a way to simulate a double click using the inbuilt software of the system?
If it helps, I already have a file 90-evoluent.conf in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and the contents of that look like this
Section "InputClass" Identifier "Evoluent" MatchUSBID "1a7c:0068" Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 2 5 6 7 2 9 10 11 12 13" EndSection
But as I said, even that doesn't work. I'm not getting a right click for button 8.
Any help appreciated as always.
