Bug Description
The Logitech MX518 has a top "Application" style button, that by default in Ubuntu 8.10 is undetected. The forward/back browser buttons on the side work. Adding the following to ~/.Xmodmap enables xbindkeys or a similar program to grab input from the application button. However, this is an imperfect fix, as it breaks the forward/back mapping to Firefox, although they are still recognized by xbindkeys.
$ cat ~/.Xmodmap
pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 8 9 6 7

Hi Sean,
This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http:// cdimage. ubuntu. com/releases/ lucid.
If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications- >Accessories- >Terminal) . It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.
apport-collect -p linux 319461
Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/KernelMainl ineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs- upstream- testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs- upstream- testing' text. Please let us know your results.
Thanks in advance.
