Created attachment 330678 [details] missing change to recognize in xpdf up to nine buttons Description of problem: Bummer! This is actually my fault. When in the past submitting changes to bump a number of xpdf-usable mouse buttons to 9 I forgot about XPDFViewer.cc not to ignore those additional buttons. Here it is. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xpdf-3.02-7.fc10 Additional info: I have here a wireless mouse which is identified as: .... (II) Logitech USB Receiver: Found 16 mouse buttons (II) Logitech USB Receiver: Found x and y relative axes (II) Logitech USB Receiver: Configuring as mouse (**) Logitech USB Receiver: YAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5 (**) Logitech USB Receiver: EmulateWheelButton: 4, EmulateWheelInertia: 10, Emul ateWheelTimeout: 200 .... I am not sure about 16 but beyond "normal" buttons, and withouth any remappings, its wheel gives buttons 4, 5, 6 and 7 (the last two as side wheel motions), there are two "back" and "forward" buttons as 8 and 9 and also "zoom-in" and "zoom-out" buttons 13 and 14. That is what I can find in xev reports. Withouth any remapping one can at least put in /etc/xpdfrc lines like bind mousePress8 any prevPage bind mousePress9 any nextPage which is really nice when in a full screen mode during a presentation and not necessarily close to a machine. With this additional patch that just works. Making buttons above 9 "xpdf-usable" would be possible but it would need deeper intervention into GlobalParams.cc to do something similar like what is done for parsing xpdfKeyCodeF"X" presses. Remapping mouse buttons when by default /etc/X11/xorg.conf is absent becomes slitghtly hairy and besides now one gets this in logs: (WW) AllowEmptyInput is on, devices using drivers 'kbd' or 'mouse' will be disab led. (WW) Disabling Keyboard0 (WW) Disabling Mouse0 so remapping would have to be done for a device "evdev" and not "mouse".
