Look this mouse 
http://images.pcworld.com/news/graphics/123950-Gadget32-Intellimouse_b.jpg

It has two logical button at the both sides. It does "backward" or 
"forward" in firefox or the same in nautilus. My logitech mouse has the 
same feature on the wheel. if I press the mouse wheel to the side it 
does 2 more click so the wheel has not only one middle click but three. 
The middle click and "back" "next"

These back/next buttons are not detected by xev. That's my current 
trouble :-)
