Hi there!
How can i remap mouse buttons by using xkb?

i can do it, by using xmodmap:
echo 'pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 8 9' > ~/.Xmodmap; xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap

How do such thing with xkb?

xkb is for the keyboard. See What is it for?
xmodmap is not wrong. See for instance map mouse on linux.

Perhaps you're thinking about xorg.conf?

I have a Razer gaming mouse and my xorg.conf file looks like this (for the mouse part):

Code:

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier	   "R.A.T.7 Mouse Remap"
    MatchProduct   "R.A.T.7"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
    Option "Buttons" "17"
    Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 4 5 0 0 8 9 7 6 12 0 0 0 16 17"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
    Option "AutoReleaseButtons" "13 14 15"
EndSection

I'm guessing that the xmodmap settings you have there ends up as the line called: Option "ButtonMapping"
