I've described the problem here :

You can have your 5 first buttons working (so it includes the wheel).
Let: Option "Buttons" "7"
Set: Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
And you are done.
You can also deactivate your xmodmap which should be pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5
As described in my bugreport, X see 11 buttons on this mouse (that's the
main problem), xmodmap expects 11 buttons to be mapped, not 7.
If you also want to use your 2 specials left and right buttons, for all
I know, it's not actually possible.
