    Hi,

    I have an Intellimouse Optical USB and PS/2 compatible and eventually
    got it working like so:

    In /etc/X121/xorg.conf:

    Section "InputDevice"
            Identifier "Mouse0"
            Driver "mouse"
            Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
            Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
            Option "Buttons" "7"
            Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
            Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
    EndSection

    Note that my z-axis mapping is different from Alexander Dalloz and I'm
    not doing three-button emulation, though I'm not sure that matters.

    I seem to have the same pointer mapping:

    $ xmodmap -pp
    There are 7 pointer buttons defined.

        Physical Button
         Button Code
            1 1
            2 2
            3 3
            4 6
            5 7
            6 4
            7 5

    I should mention that it took me awhile to find a procedure that worked.
    Googling eventually brought me to:

    http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Mouse_Nav_Buttons

    which goes into more detail. Worth a look.

    Good Luck!

    Jeff
