Sometimes I get caught when other people use the mouse and bump the profile button, then my back/up/forward buttons don't do what they are supposed to, I wonder why for a while then remember to change it back to Profile-2 lol.

Its the profile with the top led off and the other two on. The other buttons are recognized the same, but G10 is recognized as ???. I can configure it in e17 menu normally though, where it is recognized as "Extra Button (14)". Found a profile in which G10 is as well recognized as mouse button, but G9 just adjusts the dpi.

Never tested to see what happens with xev, but I've tested with input-events. It recognizes as follows: G4 BTN_SIDE G5 BTN_EXTRA G6 BTN_BACK G7 BTN_FORWARD Their function doesn't really matter, once I reconfigure them for doing something else. What I am yet to find is how to have G10 and G9 as mouse buttons as well (or at least to have G4~G7 as mouse buttons and the others configurable; profile1 won't allow me to configure it) I am using Gentoo Linux (kernel 3.3.1-gentoo), but probably that’s a perk of my WM (e17), and its only for the profile1.

So the 4 thumb buttons are all reported as mouse buttons on your setup? Which OS/version are you using mate? Hi Blayster,

That’s awesome, glad to hear you love the G700 mouse.
So the 4 thumb buttons are all reported as mouse buttons on your setup?
Which OS/version are you using mate?

This mouse is amazing from the very start (just sad that two buttons are hard set in hardware). No extra requirement is needed for using it on linux, unless you like to customize it (I surely do). But also interesting enough, for me, it recognizes all the 4 lateral buttons as mouse buttons. Which is absolutely great. Thank you gavingc,

The left, right and middle click buttons identify as mouse buttons. The Scroll Up and Down, Left and Right also identify as mouse buttons. The remaining thumb buttons and mode buttons register as key press events. Hi, with my current setup, xev shows.

That makes a whole world of difference, since only mouse buttons can be associated to dragging actions (as a one-mouse-button move or one-mouse-button resize action). Thanks in advance!

You do not want the Nvidia drivers since these laptops use the Optimus chip which is not supported yet. Two of my friends are even having trouble under Windows with the Optimus drivers and some programs like AutoCAD. The good news, and one of the reasons that I bought this laptop, is that the Sandy Bridge Intel CPU has very good on-board graphics. So un-install all Nvidia drivers and install xserver-xorg-video-intel as noted in the Graphics paragraph in the article. Further good news is that the Intel graphics driver has very recently been further improved and we should see that in a Testing kernel some time in the future :-) PS. I'm currently running Linux kernel 3.1.0-1-amd64 which is singing along beautifully! Good luck in Brazil. Awambawamb good to hear from you again.

I'm back... after various struggles with debian, I've ended giving up for now. Debian XFCE isntallation was a success, but when it came down to install nvidia graphics, my hope has been thorn in little pieces. I do like open source, but the lords of software are very good at keeping code noobs away. I won't give completely tough - I'm just preparing myself to move for 6 months to Brazil to end my studies... I'll have plenty of time after Feb 1st. There *must* be a nice way to use my machine the way *I* want. (..and don't remove this page :D I should save it somewhere!) Hi!
