so how do you get the other buttons to work


I got the two usual buttons then two side buttons. How do you get those to work, or is it possible? I use them in windows for backspacing and forwarding mostly!

look in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file

some device option examples should be in there

you will need to assign the other buttons

Not sure if what you want it to do is going to be easy but it's possible
