I had a similiar situation. I wanted to try the latest XF86_Mach64
server from 3.3.3.1 so I downloaded the server binary and stuck it in
/usr/local/bin. When I restarted X my mouse button bindings were not
working correctly. I have a Logitech MouseMan+ with 4 buttons and the
wheel so I use
Buttons 6
ZAxisMapping 5 6
in XF86Config. With the new X server button 5 disappeared. I couldn't
get it back so I switched back to the 3.3.2 server and all was well
again. So it looks like there are some binary incompatibilites
floating around.
