Hi again!

Did you try to point the Option "Device" to your dev mouse name under
/dev/input/by-id/ as i suggested? I got a Microsoft wireless mouse
configured with the evdev driver and all 9 buttons work with the
settings shown below.

I got this files:

ls -l /dev/input/by-id/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2008-06-12 07:50
usb-Microsoft_Comfort_Curve_Keyboard_2000-event-kbd -> ../event2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2008-06-12 07:50
usb-Microsoft_Microsoft_Wireless_Optical_Mouse_1.00-event-mouse ->
../event1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2008-06-12 07:50
usb-Microsoft_Microsoft_Wireless_Optical_Mouse_1.00-mouse -> ../mouse1

And in xorg.conf i have this Input device section for the mouse:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "MSWirelessLaserMouse5000"
        Driver          "evdev"
        Option          "Device"
"/dev/input/by-id/usb-Microsoft_Microsoft_Wireless_Optical_Mouse_1.00-event-mouse"
        Option          "Protocol"      "auto"
        Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "False"
        Option          "evBits"        "+1-2"
        Option          "keyBits"       "~272-287"
        Option          "relBits"       "~0-2 ~6 ~8"
        Option          "Pass"          "2"
        #       Option          "CorePointer"
        #       Option          "SendCoreEvents"
        #       Option          "Name"                  "Microsoft
Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse(R) 1.00"
        #       Option          "Phys"
"usb-0000:00:02.0-1/input0"
        #       Option          "vendor"                "1118"  #"045e"
        #       Option          "version"               "273"   #"0111"
        #       Option          "product"               "225"   #"00e1"
EndSection

And Xorg.0.log shows this related to that mouse:

(II) MSWirelessLaserMouse5000: Found 5 relative axes.
(II) MSWirelessLaserMouse5000: Configuring as pointer.

Hope it will help
