Welcome to the club. The program you want to use is xmodmap to asign
and re-map your buttons, but for some reason this doesn't always
work... In xorg.conf (I have an Intellimouse Explorer Wireless 2.0) I
have:<br>
Option "MouseButtons" " 7" <br>
Opton "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"<br>
Option "Resolution" "100"<br>
<br>
Worth noting, this is the same configuration I had in xorg.conf for
Fedora 2 (Xorg 6.7) and xmodmap worked like a charm. Anyway, with that
in the config file, I try next to execute:<br>
<br>
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"<br>
<br>
And even though this seems to work OK, I don't get mouse buttons 4 or 5
events whatsoever (they are mapped as buttons 3 and 2 respectively)...
I've been trying to find a way to solve this to no avail.<br>
