Everyone, I have a mitac 8335 laptop which uses the synaptics driver for the touchpad. The laptop has a 4-way scroll. I found information on the internet of how to map the scroll keys to the same keycodes as the arrow keys. That works for some applications, but not all. For instance, in gnome-terminal, pressing the up scroll button brings up the last command, rather than scrolling the screen (as it should, since it's bound to the up arrow). Here's the setkeycodes commands: # set Left-scroll to act like Left-arrow setkeycodes 5a 105 # set Right-scroll to act like Right-arrow setkeycodes 59 106 # set Up-scroll to act like Up-arrow setkeycodes 69 103 # set Down-scroll to act like Down-arrow setkeycodes 68 108 So far, I've done a LOT of googling, have read a lot about setkeycodes, Xmodmap, xorg.conf and xev... And have become completely lost. Using dumpkeys, it looks like keycodes 120 through 123 are unused, so I can use setkeycodes to map the above mentioned scancodes to 120 through 123. However, I cannot figure out how to get X to see it as the mouse's button 4, 5, 6, and 7. Can someone hit me with a big cluestick? I have a feeling that I'm lost in the forest and can't see the trees. Thanks, -- Philip A.
