What's the point of remapping buttons 4-5/6-7? Why not just leave them
alone? and use:
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
and forget the xmodmap line?
I tried something similar (ExploerPS/2) with my new MX LASER, but found
that the sensitivity was *way* more than I needed. It became hard to
click any button without also causing the mouse to change position too.
I'm currently running with:

And waiting for EVDEV support for Fedora to try again....
I've looked at the xev output of clicking my buttons, and don't see
anything unique for the "extra" buttons. They all (except the
scrollwheel side-to-side) seem to map onto the first 6 buttons in some
combination, which makes using them rather useless. And the side
movement of the scroll-wheel generates no events at all.
Wish I could use the "extra" buttons....
