I have a Logitech MX518 mouse and under windows it can do forward/backwards.
To make this work in SUSE 10.1, edit the file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Scroll down until you see the mouse section... make it look like below.
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "mouse"
Identifier "Mouse[1]"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Name" "ImExPS/2 Logitech Explorer Mouse"
Option "Protocol" "explorerps/2"
Option "Vendor" "Sysp"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7"
EndSection
the line Option "ButtonMapping" was missing from mine...
Viola! Buttons work :D
I heard it works with different mice that have the buttons...
disclaimer: if you do this and it breaks something, you own all the pieces.
Thanks Bok! ;)
