Bug in acceled Xpmac?

[Nathan Ingersoll]

The problem still exists in this version. Also, this machine doesn't have
USB. It's a straight 6500/250, no upgrades or add-ons. The program just
tries to remap the first button to a different button.

The server reports making the change, but the mouse button behavior
doesn't change. I know the server is acknowledging the change, because the
program calls XGetPointerMapping to set it's initial values. Exiting the
program and starting it again reports the same values that were set at the
end of the last run.
