Hi all,
I've got a nice fresh install of Ubuntu 6.10. I've run Automatix, installed Beryl and some other bits, which has all worked sweet.

However, I still can't get my Saitek Gaming Mouse to behave properly. It has 5 main buttons, a scroll wheel (with button when you press down on it). Strangely at the moment, if I roll the mouse wheel, Firefox goes Back/Forwards through my browsing history. I want the mouse to behave just as it should in Windows, i.e., 2 side buttons allow me to go forwards and back, the scroll wheel scrolls the windows up and down.

Any ideas how to sort this? I've Googled and found a few different methods to sort it, but none of them seem to work fully.

Yeah, that's what I followed first, and after doing so, rolling the mouse wheel moves forward/back in Firefox.

Could you possibly post the Mouse section of your xorg.conf for me to compare?

Cheers,
Matt
