At least, with the evdev driver they are. I'm not sure how it is with the "mouse" driver with the protocols "IMPS/2" or "ExplorerPS/2". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Use can use xbindkeys and xvkbd to send such signals using mouse buttons. An xvkbd command is: "xvkbd -xsendevent -text '\[XF86Back]'". Alternatively, you can use xmodmap to map those signals to keys. Details can be found here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/index.php?title=How_to_get_special_keys_to_work Actual Results: Nothing happened with the signals like XF86Forward, whereas it responded to mouse button 6 and 7 for forward and backward. Expected Results: Browser should act on XF86xxxx signals, and use button 6 and 7 for horizontal scroll.
