I just got one of these guys and I think it's pretty nice. I'm using
X 4, which doesn't have problems with it, though gpm doesn't like it.
The relevant section from my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4:
,----[ XF86Config-4 ]
| Section "InputDevice"
| Identifier "Mouse"
| Driver "mouse"
| Option "CorePointer"
| Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
| Option "Buttons" "4"
| Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
| Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
| EndSection
`----
I also have a couple of helper applications when I start up X:
,----[ .xsession ]
| ...
| xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 5 3 4 2 6 7" &
| imwheel --buttons 67 &
| ...

Hmm, with mine the red light of the mouse comes on when I move it or
click with it.
