I just tried this, as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/marblemouse.conf:
### START OF FILE ###
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ButtonMapping" "1 8 3 2 9"
Option "EmulateWheel" "true"
Option "EmulateWheelTimeout" "300" # msec
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7"
EndSection
### END OF FILE ###
This caused my X to lock up at the login screen, even after rebooting. I
had to power off the machine, as I could not even Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get a
text terminal login. After rebooting in recovery mode, I renamed the
file (added "_disabled" to the name) and could use X once more.
As I have a Marble Mouse trackball, I'm hoping someone will figure out an
actual working config, where I can use the buttons as follows:
Big Left: normal left mousebutton
Small Left: mousebutton 3, used to open new tabs in Firefox, or paste from the
selection clipboard
Small Right + ball movement: scroll freely, vertically and horizontally
Big Right: normal right mousebutton
I could do all this with HAL, using this fdi, so hope I'll be able to do so
again soon:
