My keyboard has way way to many keys. Some of them are mapped into event numbers that are over 0x100 and the Xorg evdev drivers considers those to be mouse buttons.. Which is obviously wrong. After a little digging, I found the problem and I have a patch. I also decide I wanted my old behavior to the windows key back, that is, having it as Mod4 and nothing else, so I made another kinda patch. And now, for the first time since I bought that MX3100 crap, I have everything working the way it should!
After upgrading to Xorg 7.1, my keyboard/mouse combo stopped working properly. I was using the “kbd” for the keyboard and evdev for the mouse (so I can get all 12 buttons.. yes 12 buttons). On Xorg 7.0 I had most of the stuff working, except for some buttons on the keyboard which just refused to work properly. After upgrading, all hell broke loose. And it too me a while to find out why.
