I dont know, I am using Xpmac currently and it has a command line param for
the buttons. Sorry, cant help with that.

But may I suggest a nice thing? I was in a computer shop and found a very
nice USB mouse for the pismo:

I know it is not a solution to you problem, but for all the people out there
looking for a good laptop mouse, this is worth checking out. It has a short
cord (with an extension piece if you need longer) so it is handy also in
that sense. The whole mouse is also very small, I have sometimes used it on
top of the pismo just fine (over the wrist rest). And nothing really beats a
_real_ mouse for serious work (like using the gimp :) Drawing with the
touchpad is not uhm.. ideal.. I wonder when someone makes a laptop with
integrated Wacom Graphire in place of the touchpad.. That would rule :)

Just felt like sharing my experience, I am not connected to Logitech and
such, blah blah you get the idea :) It is just a very nice mouse for laptop
use.

Airport should work fine with Ben's driver:

The integrated speakers dont work yet in the pismo. Sound works ok through
the headphone jack for now. From what I have understood, this requires some
kernel work.

I hope this was helpful
