Аrch does not see the side mouse keys

Mouse: Logitech M560

I install xbindkeys, xvkbd, xev and copied config to home folder, but the side buttons didn't work. My side mouse buttons perform the function "back" and "forward" in programs, but not in Arch. Although the same configs in other distributions work!

.xbindkeysrc:

"/usr/bin/xvkbd -text "\[Alt]\[Right]""
  m:0x0 + b:10
"/usr/bin/xvkbd -text "\[Alt]\[Left]""
  m:0x0 + b:11

сat /proc/bus/input/devices:

Re: Аrch does not see the side mouse keys

Welcome to the forum. Please read the stickies in the newbie corner, especially those which tell you to post complete logs and configs and that "does not work" is no usable problem description.

Especially if "xev side buttons see" is supposed to say that xev  responds to those buttons, you'll have to elaborate on "didn't work"…

Re: Аrch does not see the side mouse keys

xev inidcates a passive grab (xbinkeys)
Did you try whether calling xvkbd directly works as expected?
In case it does, a pitfall could be the grab window (the leave/enter wiggle) - try to briefly "sleep 0.2" before xvkbd.

I was advised in another forum to replace the .xbindkeysrc config with:

# Back
"xte 'keydown Alt_L' 'key Left' 'keyup Alt_L'"
   b:11

# Forward
"xte 'keydown Alt_L' 'key Right' 'keyup Alt_L'"
   b:10

And it worked! But the error in dmesg remained. I do not even know whether to continue to solve the problem...

Re: Аrch does not see the side mouse keys

So the issue seems to have been xvkbd.
There'd also be xdotool (in case xte later on acts up as well ;-)

The dmesg error is from the kernel module and a general sanity check related to raw event handling - possibly the mouse generates events not supported by the kernel module.
You can ignore it or try passing "hid-logitech-hidpp.disable_raw_mode=true" to the kernel, but I've no idea about the impact of that.

By the way! If you set hid-logitech-hidpp.disable_raw_mode = true in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT = " ", then the side keys do not work.
