In the "InputDevice " "Mouse0 " section of your /etc/X11/XF86Config, below
the "ZAxisMapping " "4 5 "
Add:
Option "Buttons " "8 "
You should know however, that even though X may recognize all 8 buttons,
it doesn 't mean that programs will accept or recognize them. Many things
limit their support to no more than 3-5 buttons.
