btnx is outdated already ... it isn't developed anymore by its original |
| 15 |
author and stuff like easystroke etc are recommended by other users. |
| 16 |
btnx doesn't interact correctly with recent kernels etc. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
My client had used btnx successfully before and after we had no success |
| 19 |
with xmodmap, xbindkeys (we didnt know easystroke then) we went back to |
| 20 |
getting btnx to work. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
There isn't much to say ... the system of my client runs Ubuntu 12.10 |
| 23 |
... and btnx is only part of the distribution up to 12.04 ... |
| 24 |
fortunately I was able to pull 2 packages from an older repository and |
| 25 |
install them. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
After that I basically only let btnx-config detect the one special key |
| 28 |
we wanted to map and then assigned it a key event in its GUI. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
I don't have access to the machine right now ... but I assume it |
| 31 |
wouldn't make much sense to show the resulting config-file as other |
| 32 |
people use other mice and map other keys. |
