I just bought a new mouse. Can I use all the buttons I paid for?

[Steven W. Orr]

I just got a Logitech MX620. It has a left, right, middle scroll wheel, the
middle scroll wheel rocks left and right, there's another button to the left
of the left button, and there are two side buttons, one forward and one aft.

Here's a picture of it.

Also, I have this in my lshal output:

I'm totally confused because I used to know that the xorg.conf file was the
place to set stuff up. Now we have hal, evdev, imwheel, xbindkeys, and
probably more stuff I know even less about. AND, there's nothing in xorg.conf
that even vaguely looks like a mouse setup. I'd like the two side buttons to
play Back and Forward while in Firefox, and the button to the left of the Left
Mouse button to be a Search button in Firefox. I have no idea what a good
thing would be to do with the middle scroll wheel in left/right rocking mode.

Can someone get me jump started? Or tell me what extra info I need to share?

Thanks.
