    I have gotten as far as having the same xorg.conf file as you, however
    i am not quite sure how to bind actions, namely alt+left and alt+right
    to the side buttons and someting else to the scroll wheel button.
    That wiki thread seems to show you how to change get the buttons
    working, and then use that imwheel program to get the wheel working.
    Any ideas how i would go about binding the keys? Thanks
