Your mouse drivers must generate an event to change event. xkbset
just allows you to simulate mouse events on keyboard and not to generate
an event from the mouse. It was interesting for me because i've no
middle button and it's not easy to emulate 3buttons in clicking on 2
buttons at the same time.
You've install 2.6.X kernel? In my case I have a synaptics touchpad. I've
just download latest driver and update XF86Config-4 with
README or INSTALL instructions which correct kernel preemptibility,
touchpad sensibility, right released and pressed event and
merge usb mouse and ps2 mouse in one section. Have you tried something
like that?
