	I know this is in the FAQ, but each mouse is different and
requires its own 'massaging' in the xorg.conf file to get working.

	A picture of the mouse is available as follows:

1. I know that buttons 6 and 7 are the scrollwheel's buttons from xev
output. I set the values in xorg.conf to what I obtained via xev, but
the scrollwheel is non-responsive:

- From xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
        Option      "Buttons" "7"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
        Option      "Resolution" "100"
EndSection

2. cat /dev/ums0 works for the scrollwheel (garbage is printed out).

3. "Buttons" 4 & 5 appear to be mapped to nothing (or at least nothing I
can create).

4. On a sidenote (and funny I suppose since this usually happens last),
I got the sidebuttons (buttons 8, 9) to work with imwheel.

TIA,
- -Garrett
