[SOLVED] No mouse back/forward

Netrunner Rolling Rolling 2017.07

Hi, just came back from manjaro and I still like the touch of netrunner!

However, I have a problem with the mouse, the back and forward buttons are dead.

And from manjaro it’s:

[code]ButtonPress event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x3c00001,

What can I do to get it working in netrunner?

Besides adding imwheel to work around some plasma scrolling issues, we don’t change any mouse drivers from upstream Manjaro.

What brand and model of mouse do you have?
Have you tried playing with the mouse settings in system-settings?
You could try removing imwheel to see if it’s interfering with your model of mouse.

It’s a Logitech M705, and thank you!
Removing imwheel did the trick… :slight_smile:

The issue you’ll have with that, is slow wheel scrolling in wallpapers and in kicker-dash, etc.
Well, at least until some parts of plasma5, as well as some other applications, start using qt5-quickcontrols2 instead of qt5-quickcontrols (version 1).
