[gcmd-dev] mouse buttons as seen by X and kernel evdev

[Michael]

My mouse has two additional buttons on top which switch the mouse scan 
resolution (equals to speed and accuracy). In Debian (Sid) the kernel ACPI 
event system 'evdev' is automaticly chosen as mouse driver in maybe any case, 
without any xorg config, and for me it reports 9 Buttons. 

[ Actually, a custom xorg config is no more necessary since long and if it is, 
it should contain only very few (else missing) things. ]

That said, much of the 'necessities' within following link are kind of 
obsolete. But maybe there's some clues as for how the mouse buttons are 
recognized.

Although it's way too much for me to read up, at least today, but maybe just 
FYI...
