Hello,
greetings to everyone. I want to use an build-in touchpad and, if 
attached, an USB mouse with 7 buttons.
To use the side buttons, if have to map the wheel to button 6 and 7 and 
then remap them with xmodmap
to button 4 and 5.
This works fine if I use the USB mouse as core pointer and the touchpad 
to generate core events. 
This has the drawback that my X-Server won't start  if the USB mouse is 
not attached because it can't find
the core pointer.
However, if I use the touchpad as core pointer and the USB mouse to 
generate core events,,
xmodmap -e 'pointer 1 2 3 6 7 4 5' won't work. It seems that only the 
core pointer device is remapped
because the wheel generates button 6 and 7 events in xev. So my question 
is: Is this a bug in xmodmap or is there
an option to overcome this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Udo Willers
