HOWTO: 5 button mouse working on firefox (back/forward buttons) - Page 11 - Ubuntu Forums

HOWTO: 5 button mouse working on firefox (back/forward buttons) - Page 11 - Ubuntu Forums:
"Section 'InputDevice'
Identifier 'Configured Mouse'
Driver 'mouse'
Option 'CorePointer'
Option 'Device' '/dev/input/mice'
Option 'Protocol' 'ExplorerPS/2'
Option 'ZAxisMapping' '4 5'
Option 'Buttons' '7'
Option 'ButtonMapping' '1 2 3 6 7'
Option 'Emulate3Buttons' 'true'
EndSection"

I have a Creative Fatal1ty mouse (the higher-end model) and was having trouble getting the forward/back buttons working properly. Finally I realized that the "protocol" was set to something other than "ExplorerPS/2". Changing this fixed the problem for me (because I had already set all the other values properly and it still didn't work).
