My Particulars

I use the VX Revolution with a Compal IFL90 running Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron). If you are trying to install Ubuntu on an IFL90, see this page.

Hardy and Gutsy Configuration for the VX Revolution

With a stock Hardy or Gutsy configuration, the left, middle and right button of the mouse will work as expected. (The middle button is the wheel.) The wheel will also scroll windows up and down as expected. However, the extra buttons won’t work and that’s a shame.

To fix that situation, I recommend the use of btnx. See the documentation hosted on its site for information about how to compile and configure it. See also this thread on UbuntuForums. On Hardy, version 0.4.10 or later is required. See this bug report.
