Hi!
I was not totally sure as to which forum this question belongs to. I have troubles configuring my mouse correctly, since KDE doesn't recognize all my mouse keys correctly. I have changed the mouse in YaST to an IntelliMouse, but it doesn't have any effect. Furthermore, when I configured the mouse wheel to move 12 lines instead of 3, it does so but only in KDE applications as it seems (KWrite yes, Opera no). Gnome for example recognized my additional sidewise buttons which I use to move forward and backward in a history, KDE does not.
Thanks.

Unfortunately you are after a feature which has been requested for a very long time, and is unfortunately not available yet.

You need to use xbindkeys to configure your Mouse. See http://hanswchen.wordpress.com/2009/10/ ... xbindkeys/

Wow. Even though openSUSE / KDE 4 looks and works nicer than ever, I finally got my typical Linux feeling back. First a thing not working properly, then loads of shell commands, missing packages along the way and a large amount of frustration you are only able to cope with by having the same amount of persistence.

I managed to install xbindkeys, but I didn't find xbindkeys-config, the GUI frontend. The websites it's being talked about mention apt-get as a way to install it which I cannot use with openSUSE, as far as I know.

So the easiest way would be to find a SUSE-compatible version of xbindkeys-config, if there is one?

The other harder way is to configure the xbindkeys config file, but in order to do that I have to know the D-Bus commands (I didn't know the term D-Bus 30 minutes ago). The tool qdbusview (which I also managed to install via a Qt4 package) shows a lot of D-Bus commands. But currently I'm totally overchallenged with assessing which commands I actually want to assign my two mouse keys to. Basically it's moving back and forth in my history, whether it's in Dolphin, Firefox or Opera. I just don't know what this command is called and I don't know whether I have to configure this command for every single program separately.

Thanks.
