My only other suggestion would be to try the xev program to see what button number XFree sees those buttons as. You may need to change the number of mouse buttons in your XF86Config in order to detect them. I know my Intellimouse was like that, if I set it for 7 buttons (to use the side buttons) my scroll wheel would disappear. The scroll wheel would only work if I set it to 5 buttons.
