[e-users] How to add extra mouse button actions?

[Jonathan C. <goe...@ya...>]

Hi all
I was replying to some questions for the E-Users list, and I thought I
might just type another email for the list.
I am the happy possessor of a MS Trackball Explorer. Yes, I do like Linux,
but MS still makes good hardware, nothing wrong with that, only windows
really gets on my nerves.
The trackball has two extra buttons in addition to the two+wheel of a
regular mouse.
I was looking around on google, trying to figure out how to configure
those buttons for X, or for E as a matter of fact.
All the posts and explanations I have found on google were too obscure of
obsolete for me to implement them and have something functional.
Does anybody know how to do that, even if it's not the same hardware? I
really like the disposition of the trackball, and the two additional
buttons really make sense and are where they should be. It would be a
shame not to use them.
This is not really an E related question, but people on here have a
generally good understanding of how X and linux work, as E is no longer
one of the favored window managers for the general public distros. It's a
shame, but I guess they all want to look like windows, when I personally
hate the "taskbar look"...
Speaking of which, how's that screenshot collection coming along?

Anyway, enough questions...
Thanks for any help
John C.
