The only way in the past to get the correct mouse behavior, however, was to use the traditional "mouse" driver, with the evdev protocol (the first configuration block listed in this bug report). This configuration yields the following error:
Sorry, I misread the second half of your report, my faul entirely. Your new
configuration that works is correct. The support for evdev currently
removes evdev support specifically from the mouse driver and places it
instead in its own evdev driver. This driver doesn't have all the options
that the mouse driver has, specifically the ZAxis and ButtonMapping options
that you use. I don't know if it makes sense to include these options in
the evdev driver, since it's a generic input device driver, but I'll ask
upstream.
Currently, if you want to use the evdev driver and do your mouse button
mappings, xmodmap is probably the way to go. Alternately, you could figure
out why the mouse driver isn't working for you.
