Thanks, Rob. Applying the knowledge I gained from your excellent explanation, and after looking at the help listing for xte, I was able to make any button do things like go back/forward between browser pages, go home/end of page, pageup/pagedown, etc. If only all tips on help forums were as clear as yours…

Thanks again

Works perfect, but unfortunately doesn’t survive an Ubuntu update. So i had to do this the second time ;)

Thank you for posting such a detailed guide.

Hey Lin –

Sorry about that, I should have updated the post. I had the same problem and the issue is the “&” in the startup command. Remove that and you should be golden. I’ll take a new screenshot and make the appropriate update.

Thanks for reminding me and apologies for the misleading information.

Hi,
Since I completely agree about double clicking, I followed Rob’s suggestions and, of course, they worked perfectly. Worked, that is, except for the final step: after which the double-click should last through a reboot. That doesn’t work for me; after a reboot the wheel is simply a single click until I open a console and enter “xbindkeys &” again . Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Lin
