Hey guys,
After trying everything I could find on the net to get this mouse to work 100% I'm ready to ditch it and get another mouse. I'm looking for a wireless mouse to use with Suse on my laptop. I'd like scroll, tilt-wheel, forward/back buttons and I'd like it to be close to 100% right out of the box, if that's even possible. I don't mind making minor changes to the xorg.conf and xmodmap to get the final buttons recognized, but I atleast want it recognized by Yast2 so that it's working close to 100% at install.

So...what multi-button wireless mouse should I be looking for? Thanks!!

Currently using a wirless Logitech mx 600 about a year or so old. All Logitechs I have dealt with worked adding lines like this in /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Resolution" "800" #optional
Option "Buttons" "10"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7"
EndSection

Might try this with current mouse.

Thanks Brian,
The problem with my Intellimouse is that the Linux kernel is not recognizing any scroll actions or side-button actions in xev. If it were, it would just be a matter of configuring the xorg.conf file and possibly the xmodmap. However, if the actions aren't seen at all then those won't do any good. Thanks for the help though. I'm definitely going to look at a wireless logitech mouse.

Check out this link with example. Check the links within the post as well.
Looks like you need to use Explorer module for X and then maybe xev will be able to sense them.
