Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mouseemu
Mouseemu creates an emulated "3-button scroll" mouse, i.e. left and
right buttons, plus a clickable scrollwheel. This is useful when running
on a system with this many buttons or less (e.g. a laptop touchpad)
Unfortunately, mouseemu also swallows all events from the system's
"real" mouse, including events caused by buttons outside the 3-button-
scroll limitation. As a result, if your system has more buttons (e.g.
side buttons, or a wheel with horizontal scroll) then the extra buttons
are not used, as mouseemu does not forward those events.
The real mouse reports:
Supported events:
Event type 0 (Sync)
Event type 1 (Key)
Event code 272 (LeftBtn)
Event code 273 (RightBtn)
Event code 274 (MiddleBtn)
Event code 275 (SideBtn)
Event code 276 (ExtraBtn)
Event type 2 (Relative)
Event code 0 (X)
Event code 1 (Y)
Event code 6 (HWheel)
Event code 7 (Dial)
Event code 8 (Wheel)
Event type 4 (Misc)
The emulated mouse reports:
Supported events:
Event type 0 (Sync)
Event type 1 (Key)
Event code 272 (LeftBtn)
Event code 273 (RightBtn)
Event code 274 (MiddleBtn)
Event type 2 (Relative)
Event code 0 (X)
Event code 1 (Y)
Event code 8 (Wheel)
The delta between the two are the "Lost" buttons.
