I have two mice on my system, and I have them both working properly 
(AFAIK) under X.

However, the second mouse (A Razer Boomslang, a USB 5-button wheel 
mouse), isn't configured to my liking.  I would like to remap the 
buttons on the second mouse, however I've only been able to find 
resources on how to remap but buttons on the 1st mouse.

Here's the applicable lines from my XF86Config file:

The Razer Boomslang works fine as a regular 3-button/scroll mouse.  Now, 
as far as I've been able to find info on, to gain the functionality of 
the other mouse buttons, I need to use xmodmap.  (Something like 
'xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"')  However, this command tries to 
apply changes (unsucessfully, thank goodness) to the primary mouse 
(mouseman).

So what do I need to do to be able to gain functionality and/or remap 
the buttons on the Boomslang (or any second mouse, for that matter)?

Thanks,

-Troy
