I have the ZAxis at 6 7, and xmodmap at 1 2 3 6 7 4 5, and I'm finally getting some useable behavior. The extra side buttons (one on the left, one or the right) are behaving as forward/back controls in the browser, which was a pleasant surprise. The wheel works as a scroller should too. The only problem is that the side buttons and the scroller tend to pop up the Fvwm builtin menu from the root window. That's probably a problem for the Fvwm list, since the buttons are being recognized by X now. Thanks for the suggestions.
