I can confirm the solution posted (Xorg ButtonMapping) works partly in Fedora 17 x86_64. It solves the Mode-Button-Issue but I have to logout and login again after a reboot for the focus to work corretly (otherwise, the focus is locked on one window).

The mouse continues to work but all events continue to go to the active window, even when the action is outside the active window. This affects all mice on the system until you unhook the R.A.T. 7. Sometimes clicking the mouse's "Mode" button while over another application will also fix the issue. I've seen this bug using TWM,Metacity and Compiz This also seems to be an issue on Fedora 13, but is fixed in Xorg git as of 2010.08.09. I've replicated the bug in 10.04 and 10.10 alpha 3.
