Hi!

I really thought this is a FAQ, but after searching for hours on Google and 
posting on various newsgroups, it doesn't seem to be.

All my mousebuttons are visible in xev, so X knows about them. However that's 
pretty useless by itself as no app (except xev) I know uses more than 3 
buttons (and the wheel).

Now I would like to use an additional mousebutton as an additional "Alt" key. 

That means if I press the mousebutton the system should behave the same way it 
would if I would press the left "Alt" key.

The only program I found was "mousemap", which is a very old simple utility. 
Unfortunately, it doesn't work with the "Alt" key, it constantly presses 
(virtually) the key and releases it only when you press the mouse-button (the 
"reversed" behaviour if you will) and after a couple of minutes, it always 
crashes.
I think mousemap is just too outdated.

Does anybody know how to solve the problem?

Thanks a lot,

Roland
