This is how I have mine set up....  Its not the laser one, but its
gotta be close.

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
        Option      "Buttons" "10"
EndSection

You can then use xev to find out which button is witch and then use
xmodmap -e "pointer=1 2 3 7 8 5 6 9 10"

Hope this helps... good luck.
