Bug#427346: xbase-clients: xmodmap fails to remap mouse buttons

[hramrach <hramrach@centrum.cz>]

Package: xbase-clients
Version: 1:7.2.ds2-2
Severity: normal


I tried to swap my mouse buttons with xmodmap -e "pointer 3 2 1"
xmodmap warns that it changes only the first three buttons, and the
mouse is not remapped. However, xmodmap -pp shows the buttons swapped.
Mapping all 12 buttons does not make any difference.
