Hi.

You'll need to install 'imwheel' - have a google around.

The following will get all the buttons working for KDE, but you can put the shell script described in Gnome's auto start folder or whatever.

-----
Install imwheel


Modify XF86Config Mouse part to look like:
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
Leave the rest unchanged.


Stick the following shell script into .kde/Autostart:
#!/bin/bash
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"
imwheel -k -b "67"


create $HOME/.imwheelrc with the following contents:
".*"
None, Up, Alt_L|Left
None, Down, Alt_L|Right


restart KDE.

Enjoy
-----

Dave
