You should be able to do lsinput from input-utils package to see which
/dev/input/inputX file your mouse's byte stream transformed as events
would appear. And then run input-events X to see the events. E.g.:
# lsinput | tail
open /dev/input/event11: No such device or address
/dev/input/event10
bustype : BUS_I8042
vendor : 0x2
product : 0xa

Why did you pick event10?
Because that where the mouse is as shown by the lsinput output.
I have event0 to 21 also mice and mouse0 in that directory.
The reason I asked is that when I ran your command line I got one
paragraph with the name"ALSA". My mouse is tied to event0 whether pc
mouse or Sun.
Run lsinput and choose.
Here ia another example:
# modprobe sermouse
# ./inputattach --daemon --mouseman /dev/ttyS0
# tail -2 /var/log/all

Here above we can see the middle button pressed, the mouse moved, and
the button released.
input-events produces essentially the same as you show. All three
buttons work similarly.
I think we are barking up the wrong tree here. The application sees the
button because the pointer freezes when it is pressed. What is missing
is X and Y movement info. while the button is pressed.
With the above example we can check if that is true.
Another way to test this is to use xev. Start xev, move the mouse xev's
window, press button, move, release, check the result:
ButtonPress event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x3200001,
root 0x4d3, subw 0x0, time 243503614, (56,88), root:(360,300),
state 0x0, button 1, same_screen YES
MotionNotify event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x3200001,
root 0x4d3, subw 0x0, time 243504966, (57,88), root:(361,300),

With xev, buttons 1 and 3 are correctly identified but the middle button
is randomly assigned 4,5,6 or 7. Possibly this is the problem as I know
the application is expecting button 2.
Best regards,
Fred
