remapping mouse buttons

[Fred Schaer]

Hi,

I had the same kind of problem with my M$ 
intelli-internet-wireless-explorer-stupid-name mouse : buttons on the 
thumb were not activated correctly...
To have those 2 buttons OK, I had to change the mouse section in my 
xorg.conf file. Key options were :

Option      "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7"
Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "false"

Maybe you'd like to play with these options ?

Cheers
