After several hours I gave up and reverted this patch. (I'm trying 1.6 right now) patch -R -p1 --dry-run < ./MOUSE_0 patch -R -p1 < ./MOUSE_0 patch -R -p1 --dry-run < ./MOUSE_1 patch -R -p1 < ./MOUSE_1 Sawfish must to recognize all bindings to Button6 7 8 9, etc that are saved in .sawfishrc/custom. But instead all my Button6 7 8 9 bindings are simply ignored (even without producing a warning). I hope to write more about this later. But for now in the attachment I'm sending reverting patches, just to remember about them later. A note: sawfish users are power-users (they wouldn't use sawfish otherwise, right?). So many of them have many-buttons mouse. It's not just me being unhappy. Those buttons have to work. I hope to understand evedev more. But for now, this has to work so I reverted this patch.... -- Janek Kozicki |
