Bug Description
Binary package hint: compizconfig-
Hi! I just bought a Logitech mouse with 10 accessible buttons (well, five actually, but the wheel eats up another five). Unfortunately, it seems CompizConfig can only assign the first 9 of them.
I checked with xev, and all buttons are reported correctly. However, in ccsm the drop-down lists only show the first 9.
I've seen this reported on the forums a few times, so I'm pretty sure it's not a particular problem on my machine. Among other things, all other buttons work correctly. I followed a suggestion from a forum and changed a gconf key directly (replaced 8 with 10), but the effect was weird: as far as I can tell it (no idea if ccsm or Compiz) read "Button10" as "Button1", so I couldn't click normally.
I'm assigning this to ccsm, but in view of the above it might well be a Compiz bug.
I can confirm having the same problem with my Logitech mouse. Manually editing compiz settings in gconf as suggested in http:// bugs.debian. org/cgi- bin/bugreport. cgi?bug= 501185 doesn't seem to help.
