I got an Intuos5 a couple of days ago and am mucking around with it
(Opensuse 12.3). xsetwacom works for me for mapping buttons 2 and 3 (and
some others I have tested) to key presses.  I assume it will also work for
buttons.  The syntax I am using has a lower case "button".
Buttons 2 and 3 are the top two on the left (for right handed use)

There are gnome and kde configuration apps (but they don't work for me -
google them).

Am writing a Python script for my own consumption, but ping me if you're
interested.
