# X clients receive events with logical button numbers, where 1, 2, 3 are usually interpreted as left, middle, right and logical buttons 4, 5, 6, 7 are usually interpreted as scroll up, down, left, right. The fourth and fifth physical buttons on a device will thus send logical buttons 8 and 9. The ButtonMapping option adjusts the logical button mapping, it does not affect how a physical button is mapped to a logical button.
