Multi-button mouse

[slayerza]

Hi,
How can I get my multibutton (5 buttons) working in ubuntu. AFAIK it is a Lexma from Corex, but it doesn't seem to be working in linux. If this mouse is no good in this regard can you suggest a mouse that will be?

Thanks

I saw the slight error only once I clicked submit. How do I do this?

What are you currently using as you mouse driver?

Post the section relevant to your mouse in:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf

Razer Copperhead Mine is working perfectly.

I used a Logitech gaming mouse (with like a 1001 buttons) and they all work fine...

When I run xev the buttons are correctly identified as no8 and no9 but I can't seem to get them to work. I'm sure I'm missing something simple

You can begin at looking at this article. It is a bit dated, but it will point you into the right direction.

Will have a look at the recommended sources.
-Edit-
Thanks for the info. Seems that the button binding was the missing component. It now works perfectly.
