    Hi all,

    Probably a silly question, but I can't find out how to configure my Bluetooth mouse to use the forward/back buttons in Leopard. Left and right clicking works fine, as does the scroll wheel, but I can't find a way to assign the other two buttons anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    15" MBP Penryn 2.4 200GB

    Mouse model is Dell Bluetooth Travel Mouse- 5 buttons

    Look for Steermouse. A lot of people use it, and you can try it before you buy it.
