Mouse side buttons
 
Hello, I'm new to slackware, I've got an Intellimouse Optical ps/2 compatible and can't get the side buttons to work properly on Konqueror web browser. I mean the backward button works fine taking me back to the last page I've visited, the forward button acts as the left button.
I've googled around a bit but can't find any configuration for xorg.conf to work fine.

Thanks in advance

here's my imput section of xorg.conf

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"

# Mouse-speed setting for PS/2 mouse.

# Option "Resolution" "256"

# Baudrate and SampleRate are only for some Logitech mice. In
# almost every case these lines should be omitted.

# Option "BaudRate" "9600"
# Option "SampleRate" "150"

# Mouse wheel mapping. Default is to map vertical wheel to buttons 4 & 5,
# horizontal wheel to buttons 6 & 7. Change if your mouse has more than
# 3 buttons and you need to map the wheel to different button ids to avoid
# conflicts.

Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

# Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button mice
# Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms)

# Option "Emulate3Buttons"
# Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"

# ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice

# Option "ChordMiddle"

EndSection

You should probably use the ExplorerPS/2 Protocol

Something like this should work.

Code:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier    "Mouse0"
    Driver        "mouse"
    Option        "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
    Option        "Buttons" "10"
    Option        "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
    Option        "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    Option        "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7"
EndSection

Might have to mess with the Mapping but should get you started

The buttons in your xorg 6 7 are for scrolling, change to 8 9 this worked for me.(reboot after change)
