To get your Wheel Mouse to work with all the buttons, including the back forward buttons on the left side of the mouse:

For Xfree (/etc/X11/XF86Config)Section "InputDevice"

Identifier "Intellimouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/usbmouse"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"

EndSection

To remap the buttons (~/.xsession (or whatever other startup script you are using)#remap the mouse pointer buttons
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"

For the back / forward buttons

Install xvkbd | http://member.nifty.ne.jp/tsato/xvkbd/

In your settings for your keybinds/mousebinds in your WM or DE:

set mouse button 6 to:
xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Alt_L]\[Left]"

set mouse button 7 to:
xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Alt_L]\[Right]"

(NOTE: These settings will work even if you do not set up the back/forward buttons)
