I rarely use control-c, control-v, rather I highlight text then middle click to paste, which I really miss with the MX Revolution. Most of these howto's seem to change the behavior of the MX Revolution scroll wheel so it accepts pressing it as a middle-click, but if the scroll wheel still mechanically toggles back and forth between free floating and "normal" scrolling with the ticking noise, it does not seem ideal. I was thinking it would be better to make the small button right behind the scroll wheel the middle-click button. It seems to do nothing by default. Has anyone tried?

The device numbers are different and revoco says no device found. Could I simply change the code to accept a VX revolution as well and get away with it?

The problem is that the clipboard contents may be multi line, and very long. To run the command "firefox -search 'clipboard contents'" as suggested above by oxymoron, you could use (single line command): perl -e '$_=`xclip -o`; s/[\r\n\s]+/ /g; s/^(.{250}).*/$1/; exec("firefox", "-search", $_);' This will convert the clipboard contents to a single line, collapse whitespace to a single space, then truncate to 250 characters, as most search engines can't deal with too long searches. Any other browser could be used in place of firefox here, as the variable $_ contains the reformatted clipboard contents. To attach it to the search button on the mouse, and have it work with any window/session manager, first assign the search button to XF86Search as suggested above: xmodmap -e "keycode 122 = XF86Search" then using xbindkeys (http://hocwp.free.fr/xbindkeys) place the two lines: "perl -e '$_=`xclip -o`; s/[\r\n\s]+/ /g; s/^(.{250}).*/$1/; exec("firefox", "-search", $_);'" XF86Search in your .xbindkeys file. Note that xbindkeys is great for assigning any action to any mouse button or key press (like volume up/down and mute keys), and is window/session manager independent.

I wanted to check if it was supported, well, seem it is :D I'm going to buy it right this afternoon. By the way... The klipper trick should be adaptable to a gnome environment too. There is a "glipper" utility available for gnome altough i never tryed it, should do the trick. Even Better... The famous deskbar applet have a feature to automatically search for the content of the copy buffer when you press a key. If you don't like neither of this solutions, I think there /should/ be a way to issue a "search for whatever" command on all the major linux browsers (firefox, konqueror, epiphany, opera). But I have no idea how to put the content of the copy buffer in a command line... If it is possible, one will actually be able to map different search engine/programs on shortcuts: SearchButton + W = generic internet search for $copy_buffer SearchButton + W + I = wikipedia search for $copy_buffer SearchButton + F = files search for $copy_buffer SearchButton + B = Beagle search for $copy_buffer (Yeah, klipper actually /ask/ the user what to do with the copied content, but in case you don't use kde...) Now I have a question: is there a way to map a keyboard key press to a mouse button in X itself? Like, I press the thumb button and it generates "XWhatever" instead of "Button #". I'm asking because neither kwin/metacity/compiz/beryl supported mouse buttons for keybinding last time i checked. I know there are external program that do this, but I'd like Xorg itself to do it for me. Thanks, and excuse my poor english, bye.

Works absolutely perfectly (version 0.2) you can even set a different threshold for upward and downward automatic, which suits me fine as I tend to have a faster down scroll than an up scroll. Btw changing anything on the clicking state via "revovo" automatically releases the wheel to be button 2 again. It is exactly the thing we've all been waiting for. There are also undocumented features like soft-click/soft-free, which enables one to automate the click behavior according to the window the pointer is over, without a constant switching to and from clicking mode. Soft-* means the change of state occours only if the wheel is used at all. I bow deeply. Froese, you did it, personal hero status awarded.

Do you know if it's possible to change the scroll mode behavior under linux? I love the mouse, but don't think I can use it without my beloved middle click. I would like to be able to switch from clicky scroll to free scroll, but I don't want middle click to do that. Any clues? I just got one of these too.
