Using this Protocol driver, IMPS/2, my Microsoft Explorer 3.0 (5 button
+ wheel) needs the xmodmap changed to place the wheel functions on the
wheel rather than the 4 and 5 buttons.  I don't really understand how
this work, just that I do it.

I also have my mouse in 7 button mode, using the setup:
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option      "Buttons" "7"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
#       Option      "DragLockButtons" "4"
EndSection

Then when X starts up, I set xmodmap in .bashrc (or .bash_profile, I'm
sure there is a better place to do it too, but .xinitrc doesn't work in
gnome logged in)

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

but, if you've only got 3 buttons + wheel try:
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 4 5 3"

(of course the aforementioned is highly suspect to error, and mostly
gleaned from man pages I hardly understood, it works for me tho)
