ZAxisMapping? Tried putting the numbers the other way around? What xmodmap settings are you using?
Sorry, yes ZAxisMapping, not Y as I said. Swapping the numbers around has no effect. They still both behave as the 3rd mouse button. I'm using xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1 4 5".
I'm going to give xbindkeys a try tmrw to see if that helps (I've been meaning to try it for a while. I'm using fluxboxs keymapping functionality and I plan to move away from fluxbox soon, so its a good idea).
Thanks,

Curious. Can you email us the InputDevice section for your mouse please and we'll see if that has anything odd in it? Mine is:
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Buttons" "7" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0" #Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" EndSection

Why? The situation has not changed and you even stopped answering the IMO very valid questions about your suggestion. The reason why no-one has written good list support for PINE is probably the licence, I think.

Woah! Before this kicks off again, may I just say it was due to my cack-handedness and nothing to do with pine.
BTW, my mouse settings are...
Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse[1]" Option "ButtonNumber" "5" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" Option "Name" "AutoDetected" Option "Protocol" "PS/2" Option "Vendor" "AutoDetected" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection
I seem to remember a way of setting the mouse so that pressing buttons 1 & 2 will do the same thing as the 3rd button. Perhaps doing this and specifying a 4 button mouse might work?
cheers,
BenE
(BTW, I installed XP last night. It overwrote my MBR and changed the names of my partitions...Arrggghhh!)

This I find interesting: I have "Buttons" instead. Did it change?
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
I think you might like to try ImPS/2 and see if they work then. Not sure if it's a big difference, though. Keep ctrl-alt-backspace handy.
