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.
