Thank you.

I believe that this use of xinput I accomplish with xmodmap.

My question is "downstream" of that.  Assuming I have configured the
mouse (in my case via xmodmap) and when I push a certain physical button
it generates a pair of x events

ButtonPress event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x4200001,
    root 0x13b, subw 0x0, time 28609618, (45,96), root:(464,877),
    state 0x10, button 13, same_screen YES

ButtonRelease event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x4200001,
    root 0x13b, subw 0x0, time 28609820, (54,94), root:(473,875),
    state 0x10, button 13, same_screen YES

How do I tell emacs to do something (say end-of-buffer) when button 13
is pressed?

thanks again,
