Hi Karl,
I don't use a DE, just openbox and xterm. The regular scroll wheel
mouse works correctly in both xev and the application. Button 2 is
identified as 2 so I contend it has to have something to do with
program(s) run to use the serial mouse.

xmodmap -pp shows the buttons mapped correctly with both mice.

The Xorg.log file has entries for USB Optical Mouse, Mouse Systems mouse
and Sun mouse (when I gave that protocol to inputattach and gpm) but
nothing about mouse buttons.
Best regards,
Fred
