After putting (and restarting X) Option "MapButton1" "key=0x1008ff13" Option "MapButton3" "key=0x1008ff11"
this is what I get from xev for buttons 1 and 3: KeyPress event, serial 49, synthetic NO, window 0x3c00001, root 0x8c, subw 0x0, time 48271360, (529,604), root:(627,752), state 0x10, keycode 9 (keysym 0xff1b, Escape), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (1b) "" XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (1b) "" XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 51, synthetic NO, window 0x3c00001, root 0x8c, subw 0x0, time 48271552, (529,604), root:(627,752), state 0x10, keycode 9 (keysym 0xff1b, Escape), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (1b) "" XFilterEvent returns: False KeyPress event, serial 51, synthetic NO, window 0x3c00001, root 0x8c, subw 0x0, time 48277632, (529,604), root:(627,752), state 0x10, keycode 11 (keysym 0x32, 2), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (32) "2" XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (32) "2" XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 51, synthetic NO, window 0x3c00001, root 0x8c, subw 0x0, time 48277792, (529,604), root:(627,752), state 0x10, keycode 11 (keysym 0x32, 2), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (32) "2" XFilterEvent returns: False Maybe is something Ubuntu-specific? Everything else is working except those MM keycodes...
