Easy
This is relatively easy to do. You must be using XFree 4.x for this to work
though, as this mouse technically has 7 buttons, and 3.x only supports up to
5.
The mouse section in your XF86Config should look like this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
Option "Buttons" "7"
EndSection
You have to map the mousewheel out of the way as shown, as otherwise the
extra buttons aren't detected. Now we can swap stuff back though. Either add
this line to your .xinitrc: xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5" or add this
line to your ~/.Xmodmap: pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5.
That's it. The side buttons will be 6 and 7 now, and mousewheel scrolling
will work as ever. You can bind the buttons to do whatever you like in your
favorite windowmanager and applications.

Subject: FreeBSD/Xfree86 4.01/IntelliMouse
greetings,
i have a problem, someone might be able to help
me out with. i am new to freeBSD, but not unix.
mouse is causing me some problems in X. my /etc/
X11/XF86Config has this information in the pointer
section.
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
i also tried "ExplorerPS/2", but it seems that
is not supported under freebsd. Anyway,
when X starts the mouse acts crazy.. can't
do anything.. I use the exact same mouse in
xfree86 4.01 in linux, with no problems.
does it have something to do with the mouse
daemon that freebsd runs? i noticed
it is using moused -t intellimouse -p /dev/psm0
for its syntax.. i tried setting the
dev to /dev/psm0, but no luck either.
thanks for any help
