A google search for ‘btnx’ returns this link as the first result:

http://www.ollisalonen.com/btnx/

Of course, if you’re looking for a YaST repo to install it more easily, the
link here could be added to your yast repo list (yast -> repositories ->
add -> by url (paste this url in)

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/pbleser:/Hardware/openSUSE_Factory/

Looks to have been updated as of the 12th. Give it a try.

Thx for the repo link. I actually tried the btnx site but my installation rejects the suse 10.3 rpms from there and i would rather have my installation aware of any software installed rather than tarballing it.

Commendable choice! Makes maintenance easier in the long run, I agree.

Based on the dates present on the repo I gave, it shouldn’t be long until you
can use it to install a proper 11.0 package for btnx. Give it a little time,
considering that a repo was made, it appears you’re not the only one using
that wonderful utility, so the repo maker will get to it soon.

I’ve used btnx myself, have to agree, it’s quite useful.

Hi,
I am also trying suse 11 understand more buttons on my mouse (Genius Ergo 525), but btnx doesn’t help me. It see only 5 clasical buttons (Left, Wheel, Right, and WheelUp and WheelDown). Thanks for any suggestion.
