btnx is outdated already ... it isn't developed anymore by its original author and stuff like easystroke etc are recommended by other users. btnx doesn't interact correctly with recent kernels etc. My client had used btnx successfully before and after we had no success with xmodmap, xbindkeys (we didnt know easystroke then) we went back to getting btnx to work. There isn't much to say ... the system of my client runs Ubuntu 12.10 ... and btnx is only part of the distribution up to 12.04 ... fortunately I was able to pull 2 packages from an older repository and install them. After that I basically only let btnx-config detect the one special key we wanted to map and then assigned it a key event in its GUI. I don't have access to the machine right now ... but I assume it wouldn't make much sense to show the resulting config-file as other people use other mice and map other keys. Stefan
