looks rather trivial. Do you have experience packaging yourself? Maybe you could just fix it yourself and file a submit request? i have no experience packaging it myself. What i could do is create 5 .conf files for each version of the mouse (RAT 3, 5, 7, 9 and RAT 7 MMO) and submit them, and someone else place those in xorg.conf.d if the mouse is detected. I know it looks trivial and maybe non-important to most of you, but let's say that only a few million people out there uses those products, out of those...let's say that only 1-2 thousand people in the world would try linux. None of them can't even install it, since the mouse blocks itself during the setup process. And those are small numbers, 3-4 forums instruct people on how to get those toys working, (ubuntu, arch, mint and now opensuse) and one other post http://fcns.eu/2011/04/01/cyborg-rat-7-mouse-under-linux/, page which seems that has been shared 11.6k times. So my initial 2k linux users might be a big understatement. Honestly instead of adding more evdev snippets I'm considering to remove existing ones in 11-mouse.conf (which probably are outdated, no longer matching at all, completely wrong or simply obsolete). Product is no longer supported. In case the issue is still reproducable on a maintainerd product (at that momement: openSUSE 13.1 or later), feel free to reopen. |

Such an example is this mouse. The solution is to add in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d the following file named 910-rat.conf. I don't know if this can be considered a bug, but adding this file will certainly help allot of peple using Mad Catz mouses. The only problem with it is that the "MatchProduct "Mad Catz Mad Catz M.M.O.7 Mouse" differs on some products, some are seen only as "Mad Catz" and others, such as mine as "Mad Catz Mad Catz". If it differs, it still works but only after an CTRL+ALT+Backspace. Section "InputClass" Identifier "Mouse Remap" MatchProduct "Mad Catz Mad Catz M.M.O.7 Mouse" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Option "Buttons" "24" Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 4 5 0 0 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 7 6 0" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7" Option "AutoReleaseButtons" "20 21 22 23 24" EndSection p.s installing OpenSuse if you have this mouse can only be done via keyboard, allot of tabs, and may be discurraging for anyone new trying to move to OpenSuse Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.plug in the mouse 2.start the os 3.
