thank you very much for the guide, it was really helpful.

I’ve switched to using udev to configure the mouse, and published the modified howto here:

Is there any purpose for the hibernate|suspend case? Seems pointless to modify that mouse state when the computer is about to sleep… setting it on thaw|resume should be plenty.

Many thanks for the information — this was driving me nuts. I also found the following UbuntuForums thread quite helpful:

Thanks a lot Daniel! I was dying to know how to get my MX Revolution’s wheel to work as it shoud (with click I mean).

Thanks a lot for this Daniel! Having a dysfunctional mouse drove me away from linux multiple times. This made all the difference.

I had one extra step to make revoco usable by a regular non-root user – setting the usb device read/writable by all users. Otherwise I got “revoco: No permission to access hiddev (/dev/usb/hiddev0-15)
Try ‘sudo revoco …’”

I did:
sudo chmod 0666 /dev/usb/hiddev*
