Funny you should mention this......

February and March issues of Linux Journal feature a column
on "Using the Input Subsystem".

They give program examples of event handling input devices.
If you're a programmer, this might be the ticket.


Sorry I can't be more helpful,

Bob

Subject: [wplug] extra mouse buttons


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.
