Is it possible to set the middle mouse button as a back button? I looked in Configure Your Desktop but didn't see anything.

My 5 button trackball died and sure miss the back button now that I'm using a 3 button trackball.

It has been about three years since I had to redefine the buttons on a non-standard mouse.

At that time it was just a matter of adding a few lines to the xorg.conf file.

There have been a lot of changes to when/if/and how the xorg.conf file is used so I do not know if it is still possible.

I would just google "xorg" plus "mouse buttons". I suspect that some of the same references that I used back then are still to be found on line.

Thanks. The xorg.conf file contains no references to the pointing device. Googling didn't turn up anything I understood well enough to use.
