I tried the change to /etc/X11/xorg.conf described above, but the changes did not work and the buttons remained inactive. However, I continued to research the problem and I was able to find a solution that worked for me. First, thanks to Ubuntu community docs, I reconfigured the Optical Mouse 3000 buttons like described in the Dell 7 button mouse configuration at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto. I did this by creating the 57xmodmap in /etc/X11/Xsession.d (see attached). Then I changed the relevant section in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to the following: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Buttons" "9" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 7 6" EndSection Now the back function works just fine on my mouse. Took almost 2 hours to solve the problem, but thanks to the Ubuntu Community docs and previous posters on launchpad, I was able to come up with a solution. Hope my config works for you. As alwasys, please make backups of any config files you change, could save you problems later.
