    Yes, you need to run it every time. To automate this, you can put this in a script and create a service file, or put this in an init folder that is ran at startup corresponding to your distro (on systemd-based OS that would be /etc/rc.d/init.d/) Commented Dec 1, 2017 at 6:58
  • You can put an option in xconf files: Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 ..." Commented Jul 9, 2018 at 11:29
