I've got the following in my XF86Config-4:
Code:
Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

    Identifier   "Mouse1"
    Driver "mouse"
    Option "Protocol"   "ExplorerPS/2"
    Option "Device"     "/dev/input/mice"
    Option "Buttons"   "7"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"

# When using XQUEUE, comment out the above two lines, and uncomment
# the following line.

#    Option "Protocol"   "Xqueue"

# Baudrate and SampleRate are only for some Logitech mice. In
# almost every case these lines should be omitted.

#    Option "BaudRate"   "9600"
#    Option "SampleRate" "150"

# Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button Microsoft mice
# Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms)

    Option "Emulate3Buttons"
#    Option "Emulate3Timeout"    "50"

# ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice

#    Option "ChordMiddle"

EndSection

Configuration done by fglrxconfig and edited by hand...

The trouble is, neither my scroll nor my thumb-buttons work... If I run xev nothing shows when I press the thumb-buttons or move the wheel.

I've inserted:
Code:
exec xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"

into my ~/.xinitrc file, but it won't execute when I log on (running XFree86 4.3)

I had mine working, then it died, and I've been too lazy to dig into why it broke. I did figure out that I changed nothing in my configuration though, which slightly confuses me.

Code:
 Option "Protocol"   "IMPS/2"

Add :

Code:
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"


To your /etc/X11/Sessions/<session you use here> directly after the line :

Code:
#!bin/sh

since you are using the usb version, make sure you don't have both the usbmouse and hid modules loaded.

You need to change the above to be:
Code:

    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection


Good luck! :)

I've got HID and usb-mouse support compiled in the kernel, should I remove that? (I've enabled usb-mouse support in bios)

Note: Use either usbmouse OR hid. If you install both, mouse will stop working.

Code:
Identifier   "Mouse1"
       Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
        Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
   Driver "mouse"
   Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
   Option "Buttons" "7"
   Option "CorePointer"
   Option "SendCoreEvents" "false"
   Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false

Ok so I've got it working now...

What did I do? I used the little usb -> ps/2 converter which shipped with the mouse and inactivated "legacy usb mouse support" in bios.

Odd solution, but who cares when it works? :)
