The default button mapping is: 1 left 2 middle 3 right 4 wheel up 5 wheel down 6 extra button 1 7 extra button 2 So, I would naively expect the 4th button on your device to be extra button 2, and reported by X as button 7. I borrowed a 5 button mouse for some brief testing, and as far as I can tell the button mapping for extra buttons 1 and 2 is working correctly. If you'd like to try to investigate this a bit further, it would be helpful if you could: * Download the latest snapshot built with debugging enabled from [1], and install it using the instructions 'Preparation (alternative approach)' at [2] * Run it using 'WIN_DEBUG_MESSAGES=1 ./XWin -logverbose 3 <your usual XWin options, -multiwindow for example>' * Look at the debug output from XWin and see what Windows messages (if any) are reported when the 4th button is clicked (As a separate issue, it also looks like this mapping may not be ideal, as the default on linux is for 6 and 7 to be used for tilt wheel left and tilt wheel right, and extra buttons as 8 and 9, and there are applications out there which can use that...)
