Mice buttons not working during playing Borderlands2

Hi

I have a logitech Anywhere MX mouse, and the two buttons that on the side of the mouse, aren't working during a game (borderlands 2). They do work generally, this is xev output (part of it)

ButtonPress event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x2000001,
    root 0xad, subw 0x2000002, time 14960128, (42,51), root:(90,164),
    state 0x0, button 9, same_screen YES

EnterNotify event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x2000001,
    root 0xad, subw 0x0, time 14960044, (42,51), root:(90,164),
    mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyInferior, same_screen YES,
    focus YES, state 0

ButtonPress event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x2000001,
    root 0xad, subw 0x2000002, time 15207644, (27,50), root:(75,163),
    state 0x0, button 8, same_screen YES

EnterNotify event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x2000001,
    root 0xad, subw 0x0, time 15207044, (27,50), root:(75,163),
    mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyInferior, same_screen YES,
    focus YES, state 0

KeymapNotify event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
    keys:  0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   
           0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   

ButtonRelease event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x2000001,
    root 0xad, subw 0x2000002, time 15208300, (27,50), root:(75,163),
    state 0x0, button 8, same_screen YES

the buttons are working fine outside of the game also. Pushing one of them takes you back and the other one forward in the browser.

How can it be fixed?

Thanks for the time

Re: Mice buttons not working during playing Borderlands2

How are you playing Borderlands 2?  Through WINE, through the native Steam client?  Have you tried a different mouse?  What is your graphics hardware and what driver are you using with it?
