Wireless Mouse: no tilt

[MindoverMaster]

I have a Logitech M305 wireless mouse. I am running Ubuntu 10.0.4.1 This on my netbook, ASUS Eee 1005ha.

The mouse does work, it detects it, moves over the screen, right and left click, scroll. But the middle and tilt wheel buttons do not work. I have been on this for 3 days now. Any guide I see online are totally misleading.

I tried editing xorg.conf in many guides, no luck. This is my default xorg for the mouse:

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier  "Mouse0"
	Driver      "mouse"
	Option	    "Protocol" "auto"
	Option	    "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
	Option	    "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

I tried using XEV to find out the numbers configuration.

Button Name      xev Number
--------------+-------------
   Left                1
   Right               3
   Middle              2
   Tilt Right          7
   Tilt Left           6

I posted this in linuxquestions.org, no luck either: http://www.linuxquestions.org/quest.../logitech-m305-wireless-mouse-problem-830682/

You pros know anything?

I have yet to test, but by the look of it you need to set you ZAxisMapping to 6 and 7.

I forgot about this thread.

I'm giving up on this. I posted this on two other Ubuntu forums. No one is helping me. Suggestions, sure, but nothing works.

X can be a right pain.

That it can. I often wonder if the above Xorg code due to my touchpad.
