That's great Adam! I found this link which may be of use to others. What do you think? http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Mouse_Scrollwheel
Yes I'm sure it all helps. My mouse is just a simple logitech mouse - only 5 buttons - in that link they are talking about the 6th & 7th buttons! Who knows what you would use them for.
