Bug Description
Using kde-systemsettings, I can't configure my 6 button mouse. It would be interesting to just have a way to say "this mouse has X buttons".

Package: kcminput
Version: 2.0 (using KDE 2.2.1 )
Severity: wishlist
Installed from: compiled sources
Compiler: gcc version 2.95.2 20000220 (Debian GNU/Linux)
OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.3
OS/Compiler notes:
currently there is only support for 3 mouse buttons and the mouse-wheel. But many mice have more than 3 mouse buttons (e.g. ms intellimouse explorer) so it would be appropriate to let the user configure the additional buttons to do some window operations or to emulate keyboard shortcuts.
I hadn't found a possibility to do this using the x-toolkit. There is only support for maximum 5 buttons and these "buttons" are used by a 3 button mouse with mouse wheel.
