Thanks for the detailled report. We'll need to figure out why the
xf86-input-ws driver doesn't handle all buttons on your mouse.
In the mean time, rather than reverting the commit, you can use a
simple /etc/X11/xorg.conf file like the one below to force the
xf86-input-mouse driver to be used instead of xf86-input-ws:
--- cut ---
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "mouse driver"
MatchIsPointer "on"
Driver "mousk
EndSection
--- cut ---
Also, can you check with xev or "xinput test-xi2" which events are
returned by the forward/back buttons with both drivers and send me and
shadchin@ the result ?
