The man page is correct. evdev 2.0.x doesn't parse button mapping options, and you have to use X protocol requests to map the buttons (which is how clients do it anyway). evdev 2.1 has the option, but this is done before the X server sees it and cannot be changed by the client. This is mainly for devices that have busted buttons, or need a permanent switch. > > xmodmap -pp when the buttons are screwed up. is the mapping 4:4 and 5:5? > Yeah, you're right. > > When the mouse doesn't work I have a 4:6, 5:7, 6:4, 7:5 mapping.
