I have my mouse configured that way - but I might take a look at it more
closely as I have an extra button that I don't know what to do with yet.

I know that command, I've been using it for years.

xev (X Event) is part of the standard X11 set.  I've been around ever
since I started playing with X11 - which is a go few years now (must be
something like 15).

On my Debian system it is installed in /usr/bin/X11 (but you can also
get to via /usr/X11R6/bin).  Are either of these in your path?
