I've got Ubuntu 16.10 running as a guest in Virtualbox (current),
on a Mac OSX 10.10.5 host. Uses a Kensington Expert Mouse USB trackball,
the one with the scroll ring.
Bottom left button is normal left, XEV shows as button 1.
Bottom right is normal right, shows as button 3
Top left is normal middle, shows as 2.
However, the top right used to act a a Back button (for web browsing &
such) should be 8, but xev now shows it as 2, and it acts that way.
A Logitech trackball in the same machine shows all 4 buttons working as
expected.
For Virtualbox, I've tried all 3 options - PS/2 mouse, Trackpad, and
Multi-Touch Trackpad. No changes.
When I try the 2 top buttons on a RDP session to a Windows machine, they
don't do the same actions.
Is there something like xev for Mac OSX?
