           Summary: Logitech MX 1000 mouse: xorg does not see all 12 buttons
           Product: xorg
           Version: 6.8.1
          Platform: PC
               URL: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=140
                    963
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Input/Mouse
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: svu at gnome.org


Description of problem:
I plugged in Logitech MX 1000 mouse. Xorg server does not distinguish
some of its buttons. xev shows button numbers up to 5 - the side
buttons do not work. There is a discussion here:
http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wfsection/print.php?articleid=46.
I tried the approach described there (writing 12 buttons and other
options into xorg.conf) - but found that protocol "evdev" is not
supported.

xorg server would need ability to work with "evdev" Protocol directly
(there are some patches mentioned on that page).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-6.8.1-12.FC3.1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Plug in Logitech MX 1000 mouse (USB port)
2. Configure xorg.conf to use 12 buttons 
3. xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 4 5"

    

Actual Results:  xmodmap says it only sees 7 buttons, so cannot map 12
of them

Expected Results:  swapping buttons 11/12 and 4/5
