Ah, that's what i was looking for for some time now. Thanks for the hint!

Ah, i see. But what is with the number of buttons? Why're they sometimes 20, 
then 32 or 16?
There's no Option "Buttons" for the evdev driver, which is sad, because i'd 
set it to 10 and would have never again problems with those long xmodmap 
lines ;)

I know. Over the years i learned to fix the problems myself. :)

But there's something i don't understand. Like those problems with the number 
of buttons.

PS: I'm really looking forward to xorg 7.0. :)
