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:
Option "MouseButtons" " 7"
Opton "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
Option "Resolution" "100"

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:

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

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.
