Why are the extra buttons on my Logitech mouse no longer working under 20.04?

  • 772

I've got a Logitech G700s mouse. Using the extra buttons under Eon worked just fine. Now I've updated to Focal and suddenly all the extra buttons aren't working. Button 1 and 2 and the scroll wheel are working without issue.

xinput list            
⎡ Virtual core pointer                      id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Logitech G700s                            id=8    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ HID 046a:0023                             id=11   [slave  pointer  (2)]

Button 1 and 2 + the wheel showed up under xev, but all the other extra buttons did not generate any output. I also ran sudo evtest /dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-if01-event-mouse and got the same results as with xev. Button 1, 2 and mousewheel are working fine. Everything else doesn't show up.

How do I get the extra buttons to work again?

    I did some tinkering and discovered that the hid_logitech_dj module is causing this issue. I disabled the module via adding hid_logitech_dj to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and install hid_logitech_dj /bin/false to a new /etc/modprobe.d/logitech-mouse.conf file. Then I rebooted my system and everything works fine again!
