Mouse wheel set up

English Hardware
1

I use a Logitech laser mouse. Normal wheel and button use is fine. The wheel can also be pushed left or right to activate another switch. I assume this allows the mouse to scroll left and right. How can I set this up to work on 12.3 KDE?

:’( I’ve been annoyed that it doesn’t work for some time even on 11.3 but need left right scrolling more these days.

A little further using xev to capture x events I get this when the wheel is pressed left and right



KeyRelease event, serial 42, synthetic NO, window 0x4a00001,
    root 0x173, subw 0x4a00002, time 20420860, (53,45), root:(57,70),
    state 0x0, keycode 114 (keysym 0xff53, Right), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyPress event, serial 42, synthetic NO, window 0x4a00001,
    root 0x173, subw 0x4a00002, time 20432604, (53,45), root:(57,70),
    state 0x0, keycode 113 (keysym 0xff51, Left), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

The buttons mimic the left and right arrows on the keyboard… Those do scroll left and right so the problem must be getting these to act in the same way via the mouse.
