There are only XEvent MotionMasks for 5 buttons (this is in X.h).
I think you can get button events for higher buttons but it's
not possible to get Motion+Button events for higher buttons. There's
not even a way to request it.
There shouldn't be any problem getting up/down events though.
Obiously xev gets them fine.
