My distant XServer wasn't supporting the 4 and 5 buttons through the Pointer Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5". x2x should detect this when we call XGetPointerMapping : it returns 3 and not 5. Here is a patch against x2x version 1.27 for handling it correctly : if there is less buttons handled by the distant XServer than requested, the other buttons are silently ignored. At least, x2x won't crash if you use your wheel by accident, but until you enable wheel mouses in the distant XServer (even if there is no such pointer connected to it), your wheel won't be usable on this server. Hope this helps, Thomas.
