In versions before 2.5.x this sometimes worked, but not reliably
and only by coincidence.

  2.4.x:

    Buttons 1 to 5 fully supported
    Buttons 6 and above not supported at all

  2.5.x:

    Buttons 1 to 5 fully supported
    Buttons 6 to 9 partially supported (as far as X allows)
    Buttons 10 and above not supported at all

Bye
