Whoops...  I guess I dont have the right setup...  here we go:
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Buttons" "10"
        Option      "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
EndSection

xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5 8 9 10"

Is how I got all my mouse buttons to work in FC2...  I havent gotten
the side ones to turn from 2 and 3 to 9 and 10 in fc3 yet.
