Have you tried using xmodmap and the evdev driver to supply the necessary parameters for your extra buttons? - David Nusinow
<---snip---> Yes. If you actually read the startx log of my submitted bug report you'll see the: (**) Option "Protocol" "evdev" (EE) Mouse1: Unknown protocol "evdev" (EE) PreInit failed for input device "Mouse1" Which chokes startx, due to not being able to find the mouse driver. This obviously occurs before even getting to the stage where Xmodmap configuration is viable.
