Logitech Marble Mouse no longer works on upgrde to 22.04.1 LTS

[Dennis Evangelista]

1. In 20.04 LTS I had configured the Marble Mouse by adding 39 conf etc according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Logitech_Marblemouse_USB

2. On upgrade to 22.04.1 LTS, these no longer work. The edits etc are still in place but the Marble Mouse buttons I configured previously are not working. Expected behavior is they should still work.

At a guess, you have a Xorg config file but are using Wayland by default (like most users of 22.04). Please try selecting 'Ubuntu on Xorg' on the login screen.

@Dennis Evangelista:

I'm using 'Ubuntu on Xorg' with following configuration (see below) in '/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf' and it works now (after multiple trying) correct...

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "Marble Mouse"
        MatchProduct "Logitech USB Trackball"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "libinput"
        Option "ScrollMethod" "button"
        Option "ScrollButton" "8"
        Option "MiddleEmulation" "true"
EndSection

Aktivation of scrolling per 'holding the little button ans scrolling the ball':

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.trackball scroll-wheel-emulation-button 8

I hope it helps you and some other user :-)
