Well, from the mouse driver perspective, they have to have some
terminology to talk about the mice hardware.  But that is hopefully
converted into something in X where I as a user can have something
consistent to relate to.  My remembering above is not quite correct
though, in that X doesn't say anything about which button should be
which.  What I remembered was the usual layout.

1 and 2, 1 and 3, 4 and 7, or what you would like it to be.  You can
always redefine it with xmodmap, try "xmodmap -pp".  Hmmm, I thought
it was only 5, but it is actually 9.

I'm actually just looking for some way of expressing mouse button
without the use of left/right, and the numbering in X(modmap) I
thought was a better approach - at least when using Ubuntu and other
OSes with X.

Well, they have at least a forum called "Desktop wish-list".
