Mouse buttons 4 and 5 use to just work a few years ago but seemed to have stopped relatively recently. Using
Code:
xev -event button | grep button
confirms that only buttons 1, 2 & 3 are received and nothing happens for buttons 4 & 5. I'm not sure why this suddenly stopped working. Can anyone else confirm that their mouse buttons 4 or 5 being detected?

Did you already ruled out a hardware defect?

When I went to check a different mouse it worked as I excepted. Then I realized that my mouse was plugged into my KVM and after plugging it directly into the computer, buttons 4 & 5 worked normally!

Thanks for the help!
