Subject: xmodmap problem in X.org on snapshot

Howdy,

Under 3.6 I was able to get middle- and right- click events from my F10
and F11 keys respectively. I have figured out that xmodmap is working,
but the mouse click assignment doesn't seem to have any meaning.

The assignment I was using was:
keycode 76 = Pointer_Button2 Pointer_Drag2
keycode 95 = Pointer_Button3 Pointer_Drag3

Now I believe from reading man X and man xmodmap, that my F10 key,
keycode 76, should make a middle click event, and shift-F10 should make
a drag event. But there is no response at all when I do so.

Now, the possible events and their keysyms, as I understand it, are
listed in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB. When I look at my keypresses in
xev, I get keysyms of Oxfeea for F10 and 0xfeeb for F11, and they show
that the event is as assigned in my .Xmodmap. But when I grep fxeea
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB, I get nada. The only pointer action I get
is XeroxPointerButton1 through 5.

Does the current version of X.org in the snapshot not support the
Pointer_Button2 and etcetera events any more? Am I barking up the wrong
tree?

I also looked at the include file, /usr/X11R6/include/X11/XF86Keysym.h.
The Pointer_Button2 and 3 events are listed there, with the keysyms I
mentioned. I am currently breaking/hacking the XKeysymDB file to try to
make this work.

I am in way over my head in X-fu land here, so any help would be great.
I did see the the time stamp in XKeysymDB and XF86Keysym.h is the same
day, dawes 02/11/2003. So this is not a new change.

Unless going to X.org broke something in the keycode keysym layers?

Thanks,

Linc
