5-Button Trackball

Howdy List,

I'm using a 5-button Microsoft Trackball/Explorer (a gift) that functions 
perfectly under Debian Unstable/KDE3.1

I copied the Debian X settings to my BSD XFree86 config file, which added 
ZAxis and Buttons settings:

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

but only three of the buttons are functional. Are there any tips for making 
this beast work with FreeBSD 5.2?

Thanks,

Jeff Elkins
