Getting extra mouse buttons to work
 
I have a Logitech MX 500. The two main buttons work fine, however, I cannot seem to use the scroll wheel or the side "back" and "forward" buttons. I don't use the side buttons ever really, but I would like to be able to use a scroll wheel.

Under /etc/X11/xorg.conf, in Section "InputDevice" (the one for the mouse) add the following and change Option "Protocol" to be
Code:
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Protocol"  "IMPS/2"
This enables the scroll wheel under X.

Um, I don't have an xorg.conf, does that mean I have to do it in XF86Config instead?

Yes. It is the same in both x.org and xfree86.
