From XF86Config-4:

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


In the imwheel manpage, it specifies that you must use the IMPS/2
protocol, could that be the prob?

Hi, Haywire, thanks for trying, but I'm afraid the short answer is no, that's not it. I tried it again just to make sure, but it only prevents the side buttons from working at all. I believe that protocol is for the Intellimouse version rather than the Intellimouse Explorer version.

I am getting the results that I want and expected from konquerer, but mozilla seems to be interpreting the button mapping differently for some reason.

If you have mozilla open and the window set narrow enough that you get a scroll bar on the bottom of the window, and press the left or right arrows on the keyboard, it scrolls the page left and right a few steps at a time. This is exactly what my mouse thumb buttons are doing. If you hold down the left alt key and press the left or right arrow keys in mozilla, it moves you back and forward a page in the history. This is what I want the mouse thumb buttons to do. Since the thumb buttons are already working as arrow keys in mozilla you would think that holding down the left alt key and pressing the thumb buttons would work the same as alt-left arrow, but instead it side scrolls by a whole page instead of a few steps. Mozilla seems to be the only program where they behave this way, in other programs the thumb buttons get the same action as holding left alt and using the arrow keys.

Thanks for taking a stab at it, apparently nobody is using this mouse?
Any other ideas are welcome!
