Alright i fixed it. Heres how. First you need to set up your mouse in XFree86 (version 4.2.0 is what I use), this is my pointer section,
code: Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Buttons" "7" Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7" Then you need to do "xmodmap -e "pointer 1236745" I have a script in .kde/Autostart to do this when ever I startx but you can put the line in your .xdefaults as well. code: #!/bin/sh xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5" Once you have verified that your wheel works you can test to see if the extra buttons are seen by X with "xev" (place the pointer in the square and click the buttons to see the events). Next you need to download and install imwheel which you can find in the gentoo portage. Then create .imwheelrc in your home directory with the following, code: ".*" None, Up, Alt_L|Left None, Down, Alt_L|Right Next start imwheel with imwheel -k -b "67" I use another script in /kde/Autostart for this as well, code: #!/bin/sh imwheel -k -b "67" Then restart and you should see the results.
