The thumb buttons actually do work, it just takes a bit of work. Heres my xorg.conf section, and the fix-mouse script to be placed in .xinitrc or similar vm startupfile.

The button amount and zaxismapping are the key items here. The problem is, the order is wrong. So, the order needs to be fixed every X startup. Heres how:
/usr/X11R6/bin/xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"
After issuing trhat command (preferably in a startup file as mentioned before), all buttons function and can be used e.g. in firefox to back, forward, or just bind em with xbindkeys to functions of your choosing. Its great having xmms next / prev at the slight movement of your thumb on the mouse.. (;
