Setting Up

  1. 2. Installing Xinput

    Now to Install Xinput Utility for Fedora
    Simply play:

    sudo dnf install xinput

    Again, to manage your Input Devices install also evdev and some others Input Utilities like:

    sudo dnf install xorg-x11-drv-evdev xorg-x11-drv-libinput

    Authenticate with the User Admin Pass.
    If Got “User is Not in Sudoers file” then see: How to Enable sudo.

  2. 3. Finding out Device Name

    So to Display Devices List
    Run:

    xinput list

    Select & Copy Device’s Name with Ctrl+x.

    Or simply take note of the Device’s ID.
    But if No Device Name but “xwayland” on GNOME Wayland then instead follow the linked Guide:

    Wayland xinput output

  3. 4. Setting up Xinput Device Emulation

    Now to Enable Xinput Device Emulation on Fedora
    First, to list the available Properties run:

    xinput list-props "[DEVICENAME]"

    Or alternatively:

    xinput list-props [DEVICEID]

    So in this case for instance:

    xinput list-props "Kensington      Kensington Expert Mouse"

    Or else:

    xinput list-props 13

    But if the “Wheel Emulation” Property is Not Found then you have to configure Evdev in Xorg like:

    sudo cp /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/

    And then Reboot with:

    sudo reboot

    Next to set up a Trackball Wheel Scroll, first enable it:

    xinput --set-prop "Kensington      Kensington Expert Mouse" "Evdev Wheel Emulation" 1

    So alternatively easier using the ID like:

    xinput --set-prop 13 "Evdev Wheel Emulation" 1

    And then set the Target Button:

    xinput --set-prop 13 "Evdev Wheel Emulation Button" 2

  4. 5. Making Permanent Config

    Last, to make a Permanent Xinput Configuration File
    For a Single User using the nano editor, put your both Commands into:

    nano ~/.xsessionrc

    Ctrl+x to Save & Exit from nano Editor.
    So the setup should be consistent also after Reboot.

    xsessionrc setup
