Bug 52733

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.0.99)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
OS:          Linux

I have a usb mouse with 5 buttons and a wheel. Two of the buttons are thumb buttons, and they send mouse button 6 and button 7 events.I would really like to see support in Konqueror (and preferrably in all of KDE) for these buttons. The easiest step from here seems to me that Konqueror will go back on button 6 and forward on button 7.People who don't like that can remap the buttons using xmodmap.For reference, this is briefly how you set up a 5-button usb mouse under xfree4:- have the mousedev driver loaded on X startup, this provides /dev/input/mice- configure a core mouse on /dev/input/mice, protocol auto or explorerps/2, 7 buttons, zaxismapping "6 7". It has to be core, or X will pick up the number of buttons from another mouse. The wheel movement (z-axis) is translated to buttons 6 and 7 instead of the traditional 4 and 5, because otherwise it will mask those buttons from the mouse.- as part of your x startup, run xmodmap -e "pointer  = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5", this will remap the wheel buttons to 4 and 5 and move the thumb buttons to 6 and 7.This setup allows me to use my laptop mouse, my 5 button home mouse and my 3 button work mouse without a hitch. It's not an ideal situation, but it's workable until something better comes along.
