#654 mouse buttons >5 not working.

[Tobias Ussing]

I have two computers running, both client and server
can handle my mouse which have 12 buttons.. But when i
go through tightvnc no more than 5 are working.

I had this problem with a previous mouse as well(6
buttons), so i doubt it is mouse specific.
It is a Logitech MX 1000.

It shouldn't be too hard to fix, i believe it is simply
a matter of making Xvnc support something like
'--mousetype "imps/2" -buttons 12 -zaxismapping "4 5 11
12"'

Or maybe a hack for the msetype, make it select a mouse
with higher number of buttons...

vnc_unixsrc/Xvnc/programs/Xserver/Xext/xf86misc.c line
194 rep.mousetype = xf86Info.mouseDev->mseType;

Sincerely
Tobias

With some help from the information here (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/inputdev/wm-xbuttondown) I able to get two additional buttons working (for a total of 7) on my mouse: X button 1&2 / the thumb buttons.
