In Hardy we will upgrade to xorg-server which has input hotplug
capabilities. With that feature, we may be better able to address input
features such as this one, or perhaps add better GUI config tools or
something. Currently, there's not a clear way of getting this to work
out of the box.
In bug 47579, which appears to be a dupe of this one, the following
workaround was suggested:
The program imwheel and needs to be installed. Then the following needs
to be in ~/.imwheelrc:
".*"
None, Thumb1, Alt_L|Left
None, Thumb2, Alt_L|Right
Another approach, suggested in dupe bug 107900, is to switch from
"ImPS/2" to "ExplorerPS/2". Currently, xserver's postinst script sets
ImPS/2 as the default protocol, which is not correct for all mouse
types.
** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed
Target: None => later
