remapping bluetooth mouse buttons (microsoft notebook presenter 8000)

[Micha Feigin <michf@post.tau.ac.il>]

Hello,

I go myself one of these toys, the microsoft wireless notebook presenter 8000
mouse which is a bluetooth mouse that can switch from mouse mode to
presentation mode (it's got several presentation buttons on the back). Its
recognized via bluetooth, all the top buttons are recognized (9 of them) and
works well.

The problem is with the presentation buttons, they work, but unlike most
presentation hardware, instead of sending page up/page down they are sending
some other key. xev says its 166/167 and the xfce keyboard mapping tool
recognizes it as XF86Forward/XF86Back buttons.

I want to get it to work with acrobat presentation which means that I need to
remap these to pageup/pagedown. I want to do this preferable only for the mouse
as the keyboard also has XF86Forward/XF86Back keys that I would rather leave as
they are.

I'm guessing that there is some hal option but I'm not sure how to do it.

Any guidance is welcome.

Thanks
