3.1 sys-usb and mouse buttons - back/forward

[cubit]

Hello

I have recently upgraded to Qubes 3.1.   I use and external mouse that has buttons that allow for going back and forward in firefox and file manager and others.

In 3.0 this worked perfectly when mouse was connect to dom0

In 3.1 when mouse is in sys-usb the back and forward does not work. 

Is there any way to add this functionality back?

Can you provide exact button list of that mouse? Currently only selected
are allowed by input proxy (a tool which enables USB mouse usage with
sys-usb).
You can get that with evtest tool (you need to install it first). For
example:

$ sudo evtest /dev/input/event2
Input driver version is 1.0.1
Input device ID: bus 0x3 vendor 0x3f0 product 0x641 version 0x111
Input device name: "PixArt HP X1200 USB Optical Mouse"
Supported events:
Event type 0 (EV_SYN)
Event type 1 (EV_KEY)
Event code 272 (BTN_LEFT)
Event code 273 (BTN_RIGHT)
Event code 274 (BTN_MIDDLE)
Event type 2 (EV_REL)
Event code 0 (REL_X)
Event code 1 (REL_Y)
Event code 8 (REL_WHEEL)
Event type 4 (EV_MSC)
Event code 4 (MSC_SCAN)
Properties:
Testing ... (interrupt to exit)

Hello Marek.  Here is output.  I guessing the buttons for back / forward are BTN_SIDE and BTN_EXTRA

$ sudo evtest /dev/input/event1

Input driver version is 1.0.1

Input device ID: bus 0x3 vendor 0x45e product 0x23 version 0x100

    Event code 275 (BTN_SIDE)
    Event code 276 (BTN_EXTRA)

***********************************************
  This device is grabbed by another process.
  No events are available to evtest while the
  other grab is active.
  In most cases, this is caused by an X driver,
  try VT-switching and re-run evtest again.
  Run the following command to see processes with
  an open fd on this device
 "fuser -v /dev/input/event1"

I think so too.
Tracking it here: https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1881
Will fix that soon.

Hello Marek.

I noticed that there was a comit and ticket closed.  Has this been pushed out to Qubes 3.1? I recall recent updates to both dom0 and templates but am not seeing the back/forward working yet

Thank you Marek,  it is better to be still waiting packaging than to be packaged and not working :o)

The package is already (for almost a month) in testing repo.
See comments in https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1881 for

Thank you.  Are there any other repercussions to enablig "current-testing"  am I likely to experience instabilities of system as a result?

As the name suggests, packages there are for testing, so may contains
some regressions. But on the other hand, you can simply enable it just
for one package installation (using --enablerepo command line - it
doesn't change persistent configuration).
