Then you need to configure X.org configuration file at /etc/X11/xorg.conf

What mouse you exactly have?

Some links I found so far, that might help you:

http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man4/mouse-driver.4.html - good tutorial
http://linuxreviews.org/howtos/xfree/mouse/


I searched so - http://www.google.ee/search?q=four+button+mouse+linux

After changing /etc/X11/xorg.conf you need to log off and then log in to 
have changes in effect. Or just do restart if logging of did not have 
effect. I mentioned, that in Ubuntu e.g. changing modeline it does not 
help if I log off (doing restart to X server) - I need to restart 
computer to have changes in effect.
