Introduction

This guide describes how to obtain full functionality of the Logitech MX 610. It is still a work in progress. Here, all commands are in fixed-font, like this.

General Mouse

Don't even touch the "ConfiguredMouse" default in /etc/X11/xorg.conf - just add a new input device:

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier	"MX610"
	Driver		"evdev"
	Option		"Name"	"Logitech USB Receiver"		# see 'cat /proc/bus/input/devices'
	Option		"Phys"	"*/input0"			# this is the mouse part
	Option		"WHEELRelativeAxisButtons" "4 5"	# vertical wheel
	Option		"HWHEELRelativeAxisButtons" "7 6"	# horizontal wheel
EndSection

Then add it to the devices list:

Section "ServerLayout"
	[...]
	Inputdevice	"MX610" "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection

Side buttons

Install xbindkeys and xautomation from universe. Then create ~/.xbindkeysrc with

"xte 'keydown Alt_L' 'key Left' 'keyup Alt_L' &"
   b:8

"xte 'keydown Alt_L' 'key Right' 'keyup Alt_L' &"
   b:9

After starting xbindkeys you can go back and forth with the side-buttons. Then add xbindkeys to the programs run at login with System - Settings - Sessions -

Volume Keys

No additional software is required to use the volume keys. All you need to do is use "Keyboard Shortcuts." The same can be said for the E-Mail button. By default, they just work in Ubuntu. Getting the IM button to function is a little bit more interesting...

Notification LEDs and their respective buttons

E-Mail

Bill Hard, a KDE developer, has been working on the notification LEDs since 3/7/2006. We will use his work.

1. To start, download mx610hack-0.3.tar.gz here.
2. Extract the archive.
3. Open a console and change the working directory to where you extracted the archive using the cd command.
4. Compile using the usual ./configure, make, sudo make install procedure.

To gain an understanding of how to issue commands, issue the command mx610hack --help. To get the lights to work for a user, the device must be writable to him/her. To do so, you will need to modify permissions. To do this:

1. Open the udev rules for editing: sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules.
2. At the end, add the following line: KERNEL=="hiddev*", MODE="0666"
3. Save and exit by pressing Ctrl+O, Enter (you're overwriting the file), and finally Ctrl+X

To make use of the light, you can either write a script to execute once you have new mail or install the "mail-notification" package by issuing the command sudo apt-get install mail-notification. Don't forget to turn it off somehow.

IM (for Pidgin users)

According to this thread in Ubuntu Forums, it is possible to get Pigin to cooperate with this mouse.

1. Download the plugin source here.
2. Extract the package.
3. Open a console and change the working directory to where you extracted the archive.
4. Install the pidgin-dev package: sudo apt-get install pidgin-dev.
5. Compile and install: make then make install.
6. Restart Pidgin (if running) and enable the plugin via Tools -> Plugins

Caveats: The IM button toggles the buddy list if and only if the buddy list has focus.

Finishing Up, Acknowledgments

You will need to restart udev: /etc/init.d/udev restart. This could cause things to go quirky, so you may want to consider restarting the whole computer altogether.
