[edit] Logitech MX510, Modular Xorg and evdev

This works with Logitech MX510 and MX518. The mouse must be connected via USB, not PS/2. MX518 is practically the same mouse as MX510, just with few upgrades.

Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier  "Mouse1"
   Driver      "evdev"
   Option "Device"       "/dev/input/event1" # cat /proc/bus/input/devices - look up the handler
EndSection

And:

$ xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 8 9 6 7 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32"

If you want a system-wide scroll-wheel and other buttons to work do:

$ echo "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 8 9 6 7 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32" >> /etc/X11/Xmodmap

For MX518 (USE the InputDevice section of mx510):

With MX518 it is:

$ xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 8 9 6 7 10 11"

And with MX518:

$ echo "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 8 9 6 7 10 11" >> /etc/X11/Xmodmap

[edit] PS/2 MX518

Here's a method working fine with a MX518 plugged in via PS/2. You do not need to call or modify xmodmap using this method

Section "InputDevice"
 Driver       "mouse"
 Identifier   "Mouse0"
 Option "CorePointer"
 Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
 Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
 #Option "Resolution" "800" #optional
 Option "Buttons" "10"
 Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
 Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7"
