Try using:
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
in your xfree config file.
at this point, the two side buttons (mapped to buttons 4 and 5) will act like
the scroll wheel should. To remap buttons 4 and 5 to the scroll wheel, run:
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"
I find it convenient to have the thumb button set to middle click, because it
is much easier to push than the scroll wheel. To do this, try:
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 4 3 6 7 2 5"
Hope this helps.
