Post From: Linux: Mouse Buttons

I use a logitech trackball which has buttons 8 and 9. Under windows they were mapped and usable. But Logitech doesn't supply Linux drivers so I thought they were unusable.

That's a shame because I used them for position alignment and other functions in Sierra Chart (button press and ctrl button press gave me 4 combinations of mouse to key combination to drive SC).

Then I discovered btnx which is a daemon/gui combo that allows you to map your mouse buttons to actions or key combinations.

I post that just in case anyone else had lost some mouse functionality for getting the most from Sierra Chart.
