imwheel Configuration problems
Hey, I've got an M$ Intellimouse Optical, and I would like to use the extra side buttons
I've edited my XF86Config-4 file to include the two extra buttons, but how can I set up a script to load the xmodmap command each time I boot??
Furthermore, I downloaded imwheel, but when I go into the terminal to run imwheel, I get an error that there is no configuration file. Is there some shell script that I can run to give myself a config file to work with so that I can run imwheel??
My problem is that everytime I try to setup imwheel it always takes me several days before I get it right! Even right now as I type this, I don't have it working!

The prob that I am having is that I don't kno how to create the file manually or with a scirpt. I have no confiuration file. Is there a script that I am supposed to run or something, or have I just missed something??
Just create it the way you would any file. Type "vi .imwheelrc" from within your home directory. Then press 'i' to be able to edit the file and ':wq' to save and quit when you are done
