Hi Ahmed,

Sorry to be a pain but still no joy:
Executed xmodmap -pp > ~/xmodmap (which came straight back to the command prompt). However it did not appear to output a file to my home folder (/home/stuart)
Executing the second command gave an error- please see below for a screen dump:

root@stuart-laptop:/home/stuart# xmodmap -pp > ~/xmodmap
root@stuart-laptop:/home/stuart# sudo evtest /dev/input/event8 > ~/evtest
sudo: evtest: command not found
root@stuart-laptop:/home/stuart# 

I did manage to find some documentation on what xmodmap did and managed to get the following on screen;
root@stuart-laptop:/home/stuart# xmodmap -pp
There are 12 pointer buttons defined.

    Physical        Button
     Button          Code
        1              1
        2              2
        3              3
        4              4
        5              5
        6              6
        7              7
        8              8
        9              9
       10             10
       11             11
       12             12

root@stuart-laptop:/home/stuart#

If you can advise on the evtest I can have another go - Do I need to
install the command because I am using an NBR?

Kind Regards
