evdev driver and xmodmap

[Tomas Carnecky]

somehow don't work very well...

"pointer = 1 2 3 ..." or "pointer = 1 3 2 ..." didn't change my mouse 
buttons as reported by xev. in both cases left,right,middle have been 
reported as 1 2 3.

However, "pointer = 1 4 5 3 2 ..." changed the middle and right button. 
But "pointer = 1 4 5 2 3 ..." didn't.

Also, whenever I got the middle/right button working correctly, the 
mouse wheel directions were flipped, meaning wheel up caused scrolling 
down and vice versa.

And now try to test all the possible permutations with 32 buttons.. I 
quickly gave up ;) I've ended up modifying the evdev driver itself to 
get my mouse buttons working.

Also, as soon as I find out how to get the number of buttons, I'll try 
to make a patch that removes the hardcoded number (32). Anyone has an 
idea or it already working on it?

btw, I'm running gentoo with the xorg-server as provided by portage, 
meaning 7.0 RC0 patched with 
xorg-server-0.99.1-update-to-CVS-HEAD-20050907.patch.gz
