           Summary: Xmodmap on AMD64 cannot handle more than 5 buttons
           Product: xorg
           Version: 6.8.0
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: * Other
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org

for some reason, when xorg is compiled in 64bit, xmodmap doesn't work quite  
right. it is fine if you want to remap the traditional 3 buttons and two wheel 
events. however, if you have a 5 button mouse (that is, 5 buttons and the two 
scroll wheel "buttons"), when you run xmodmap to remap the buttons, the system 
can no longer see the extra buttons. i have confirmed this using "xev." 
However, i use xmodmap from a 32bit install of xorg (it's on another partition) 
and it works fine. 
 
probably not important as it can be worked around, but it still might not be a 
bad idea to fix this problem. probably has something to do with how it is 
compiled on AMD64.
