Can't use mouse side buttons in FC6

[Mystinar]

I was trying to configure imwheel so I can use the mouse side buttons, but in FC6 the xorg.conf file does not have anything for mice. So now what do I do?

Hello:
What does the Section "InputDevice"
or your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file for your mouse have in it now?

If it's like me(microsoft usb laser), you don't need to edit xorg.conf; all buttons are already detected.
you don't need xmodmap command either.
I got it like this:
install imwheel
make this file
~/.imwheelrc

".*"
None, Left, Alt_L|Left
None, Right, Alt_L|Right
None, Left, Alt|Left
None, Right, Alt|Right

to start(usualy back=8 forward=9)

imwheel -k -b "6789"

If not OK; play with the digits

autostart: put this file(need the .sh):
imwheel.sh

#!/bin/sh
imwheel -k -b "6789"

in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/
and
chmod +x /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/imwheel.sh
Works in Firefox, Konqueror and Nautilus.
Hope this help

edit: In order to work in Nautilus, you must go in Edit/Preferences/Behavior/check the "Always open in browser windows" box.

Thanks, this did just the trick.
