Mouse buttons do not work correctly any longer!

Hi there!

I was offline for vacation 1 week till yday. Yesterday I did pacman -Syu and today i rebooted the machine and my mousebuttons do not work correctly any longer! Rightclick and Mweehlclick are swapped and the thumb buttons of my mx510 also gave up their job. I dont really know what is wrong, as i do not remember the upgraded packages.

Here are my xorg.conf and .Xmodmap entried:
.Xmodmap:

pointer = 1 3 2 4 5 8 9 6 7 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32

Section "InputDevice"
  Identifier  "USB Mouse"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event2"
Option "Buttons" "10"
Option "Resolution" "800"
EndSection

really hope that anyone can help me!

Re: Mouse buttons do not work correctly any longer!

they fixed the evdev driver. you no longer need to manually swap the middle and right mouse clicks like you have there. also, evdev knows how many buttons your mouse actually has, you don't have to specify all 32 anymore in your xmodmap.

looks like you swapped 67 and 89. you may not have to do this anymore with the new evdev. try.

ahhh nice. I commented out the pointer line in .Xmodmap and restarted X.
Now it works again!
