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.
Maybe it is the desktop environment or the window manager that messes
this up.
Try installing and using fvwm1 or something of similar age instead of
what you are using currently and do the same test, or if you know how,
run bare Xorg.

It can also be the xserver config if you happens to have a xorg.conf
that is picked up by X. Configs like buttonmapping and things related
to emulateweel can mess this up. Look in man evdev (or man mousedrv).
Look in your X11 log file for clues:
$ man xorg | grep -A8 ' -logfile'
-logfile filename
Use the file called filename as the Xorg server log file. The
default log file when running as root is /var/log/Xorg.n.log
and for non root it is $XDG_DATA_HOME/xorg/Xorg.n.log where n
is the display number of the Xorg server. The default may be
in a different directory on some platforms. This option is
only available when the server is run as root (i.e, with real-
uid 0).

Hi Karl,
I don't use a DE, just openbox and xterm. The regular scroll wheel
mouse works correctly in both xev and the application. Button 2 is
identified as 2 so I contend it has to have something to do with
program(s) run to use the serial mouse.
xmodmap -pp shows the buttons mapped correctly with both mice.
The Xorg.log file has entries for USB Optical Mouse, Mouse Systems mouse
and Sun mouse (when I gave that protocol to inputattach and gpm) but
nothing about mouse buttons.
Best regards,
Fred
