I have a USB wheelmouse (set as CorePointer) and a serial wacom tablet (which is not always attached to the machine so can't be the set as CorePointer). The standard button mappings for the wacom tablet (both for the pen and the mouse) are pretty senseless and I'd like to remap them. Unfortunately I can't find a way of remapping the buttons of anything that isn't the core pointer. Using
Code:

xmodmap -e "pointer = 2 1 4 3 5"

only remaps my USB mouse, and as far as I can tell xmodmap doesn't implement any way of choosing which mouse you want to change. I've had a look at the XFree86 documentation and I can't see any way of specifying button mappings in the XF86Config file either.

I'm sure I'm not the first person who's ever wanted to do this, but I haven't had much luck googling for advice. Any ideas?
