    okay, i seem to be getting somewhere, however, one of my side buttons
    seems to have gotten binded to my right mouse button, so i can either
    set them both to forward or both to the general right click button,
    but i cant set them to be what i would like, which is to have the
    right button do what it usually does, and the side button go forward.
    Any ideas how to unbind these?
