Public bug reported:
I opened this bug a long time ago for Ubuntu 15.10. Now I installed a
fresh Ubuntu 17.04 beta 2 and used xev to detect the button codes for
this mouse and still use the wrong codes.
Some mouses come with buttons on the wheel, so you can move the wheel to
left and right and the mouse execute clicks.
The problem is: to this clicks work on browser as back and forward
functions, the buttons need to produce the codes 8 (back) and 9
(forward). I know that because I also have a Logitech M325 mouse which
has buttons on wheel's side and works out-of-the-box on the browser,
emitting codes 8 and 9.
The Logitech M560 mouse has this buttons on wheel's side, but produces
codes 6 (left side) and 7 (right side). So out-of-the-box, this wheel's
side buttons just work to scroll for left and right. Even this is less
useful than "back" and "forward" browser's buttons, I could agree if the
lateral buttons (code 10 and 11), do the "back" forward" functions, but
I think the best option is to remap the wheel's side buttons to code 8
and 9, to work as back and forward.
My kernel version is:
Ubuntu 4.10.0-14.16-generic 4.10.3
