6 button moused?

Hi all!

I have a Logitech Cordless Optical mice and it has a fancy 6th button
place where your finger usually is on a mice. In windows, this button
is mapped to the "back" button in explorer, quite handy.

However, I can't map the button to anything in X11. xev(1) tells me no
event is generated from the mouse click. Here is my XF86Config
relevant section:

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier  "Mouse0"
	Driver      "mouse"
	Option	    "Protocol" "auto"
	Option	    "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
	Option      "Buttons"	"6"
	Option      "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5"
EndSection

So this part is ok: all the other buttons work fine, the mousewhell
and al. But no even is generated from the sixth button, and I suspect
moused(8) to be the guilty party.

I'll try to run X11 without moused and /dev/sysmouse so I see if it
works without moused. I think I remember making this work before.

Does moused(8) make assumptions on the number of mice buttons? Has
anyone been able to make those 6th buttons work?

Thanks for any input,

A.
