I have a MS intellimouse trackball.  The black one with the thumb ball, a wheel and 2 buttons on each side. (You can see it here http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouse/tbo_info.asp )  In MS, the extra buttons are for back and foward.  I have googled my little heart out, and could not find anything that works to get those extra 2 buttons working.  I have IMWheel installed and tried out somethings with that, but no luck.  I was wondering if anyone has been able to get those extra buttons on any mouse/trackball (buttons 6 and 7) working with Linux, and how they did it.

PS-I know that the MS trackball has had some bad reviews, but I have been using it for almost a year now, and LOVE it.
