[ale] Scroll wheel mouse extra buttons

[james at sumners.ath.cx]

I just use the standard X mouse driver for my wheel mouse:

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier  "Mouse1"
        Driver      "mouse"
	Option "Protocol"    "ImPS/2" # For the wheel driver
	Option "Device"      "/dev/input/mice"

	# ZAxisMapping is an option to turn on Mousewheel
	Option "Buttons" "5"
	Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Although, it looks like you do have to use imwheel for buttons 6 and 7:

I used to be interested in Windows NT, but the more I see of it the more it looks like traditional Windows with a stabler kernel. I don't find anything technically interesting there. In my opinion MS is a lot better at making money than it is at making good operating systems.  -- Linus Torvalds
