Hi, just wandered by. I have a Logitech website. Lots of information out there. Wasn’t what I was looking for, but nice site. Have a great day.

Aw man, this post so rocks! It fixed the problem for me, and I hadn’t been able to find a solution elsewhere. Thank you!!!!

In case other Linux newbies (like me!) are reading this, be warned that after I followed the directions, it wouldn’t boot into GDM anymore… happily I had a backup copy of /etc/X11/xorg.conf (from trying to fix something else), and restoring that via the command line fixed it. But I don’t know what I would have done if it hadn’t, because I didn’t know it would change anything in xorg.conf.

But hooray, it works!

Ralf > I was in the same boat as you! It took me ages to find this fix, and I had to dig through about a dozen bug reports to find it. It was buried. Hopefully they will have this fixed in 7.4.

Dmitry > I don’t usually use the extra keys on the keyboard, only the mouse. I could try them out when I get home tonight though.

Thanks for the info. Do you have the extra keyboard buttons working? (like Email, or volume slider).
For me they stopped working right after I’ve added the evdev mouse device to the xorg.conf.
