Comment 3 for bug 198277

when i disable btnx, xev gives me the following for buttons 1 and 9 respectively
(button 9 now was button 7 previously)

ButtonPress event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x2e00001,
    root 0x137, subw 0x0, time 2633914660, (75,107), root:(216,548),
    state 0x10, button 1, same_screen YES

ButtonRelease event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x2e00001,
    root 0x137, subw 0x0, time 2633914836, (75,107), root:(216,548),
    state 0x110, button 1, same_screen YES

ButtonPress event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x2e00001,
    root 0x137, subw 0x0, time 2633923340, (76,107), root:(217,548),
    state 0x10, button 9, same_screen YES

ButtonRelease event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x2e00001,
    root 0x137, subw 0x0, time 2633923476, (76,107), root:(217,548),
    state 0x10, button 9, same_screen YES

i tried configuring buttons 8 and 9 (6 and 7) to perform key_left and key_right.
when i press ctrl and alt on the keyboard and click a mouse button 8 or 9, sometimes it
works. mostly it doesnt.

if xev reported problematic events as shown in my first post, then surely the problem is
from btnx because without btnx, the button events are exactly the same. while this
may not be the case after btnx is configured for buttons 1 and 9, surely btnx can be
made to cause the correct events to be sent or handled in such a way to yield desirable
results?
