multi-media keyboard

For all of your extra buttons (no wheels, etc), you could try getting the scancodes for them. The program comes with linux but I don't remember what it is at this moment. Then you take those keycodes and put them into a file for your keyboard. I think that the file is under /etc/xkb or /etc/X11/xkb...it has something to do with xkb. I tried this once but didn't get too far. Search google for "linux keyboard config" or something along those lines.

The above are probably Intellimouse specific but you can use the mouse wheel on about any mouse. You have to change the protocol to the right one. Note the one used for the IntelliMouse will not likely be the one you need for a mouse other than the IntelliMouse. Just do a little google searching. Plenty of info out there. I had no problem getting my mouse wheel working a while back..

i just found a great site for any multi-media key board, check this out

http://www.saunalahti.fi/~syrjala/xmms-itouch/

as for scrollwheel,

change the protocal to

IMPS/2

and add
Option      "ZAxisMapping"      "4 5"

and the whole thing should look like this

Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier   "Mouse0"
   # Modified by mouseconfig
   Driver      "mouse"
   Option      "Device"      "/dev/mouse"
   Option      "Protocol"      "IMPS/2"
   Option      "Emulate3Buttons"   "no"
   Option      "ZAxisMapping"      "4 5"
endSection

im talking about the side buttons on my intelli mouse. like is their any hack of konquere or moz to use them.

voidmain:
Well obviously you will have to get all of your buttons working in X before you can have any hope of your applications being able to use them. Now a quick search found that there may be hope for you, but I haven't done any real digging. After all, I don't have an IntelliMouse.
