These 2 Bugs are not similar (Bug #182704 and Bug #182165) as they are using the old Drivers, kdb/Corepointer etc. and not evdev. If I configure my System to use the old Drivers - everything works as expected. The Bug however here is directly related to evdev - as it does not recognize the real capabilities of the attache keyboard/mouse. And I´d like to not having to fiddle with the configuration everytime I install a system with a Cordless Desktop like keyboard. hence the Bugfix request.

To the mouse - your mouse has 5 Buttons - with the extra buttons most probably being shortcuts to Mouse-Wheel up/down. These do work also on my Mouse. However - the other 3 Keys I have - Forward/Backward and Page Down - are not working. Again - Extra keys/functions on the Keyboard and the Mouse do not work.

And that - IMHO is exactly the same behavior as you describe on yours.
