********************************* hahah m such a fool!! i have configured it without restarting X. . .now its working. . m such a crap!! hhehee.. niwei thanks for viewing.

Try this:
This is how my config file is set up
you can try with or without the
Optoin "Buttons = 5"
depending on your preference

also, make a backup copy of the file before changing it.:
# mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.backup

that way you will have the original to refer/revert to.

Haha noob. (joking)

I'm glad you got it working, I too forget to do that somtimes. I have to say it's so much better than having to reboot the entire machine though.
