I didn't look at your link -- but if you are using yellowdog 3.0.1, it
has a nice initscript called "mouse-emulation" that allows you to set
keys for the other buttons. I think it defaults to F12 and F11. Here's
the quick HOW-TO from Shawn (me) if you don't have that script:
echo "1" > /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/mouse_button_emulation
echo "87" > /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/mouse_button2_keycode # F11
echo "88" > /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/mouse_button3_keycode # F12
you can copy/paste that on a commandline and test it. To make it
automatic, just copy the 3 lines into /etc/rc.d/rc.local
(make sure that file exists... I think that's where it is for most
yellowdog versions -- basically, stick 'em somewhere they'll be executed
on boot)
Hope that helps!
