Cool. I would like to hear if you have good experiences.

I use Logitech trackman, and my solution may give you a pointer:
from: http://askubuntu.com/questions/133648/marble-mouse-middle-click-fail-in-12-04
I have appended the following settings ing 10-evdev.conf:
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier  "Marble Mouse"
        MatchProduct "Logitech USB Trackball"
        MatchIsPointer "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "evdev"
        Option "ButtonMapping" "1 8 3 4 5 6 7 2 2"
        Option "EmulateWheel" "true"
        Option "EmulateWheelButton" "8"
        Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
        Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7"
        Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
EndSection

Also check out xev if you need more specifics on your particular button codes.
