Genius Navigator 535 mouse buttons

Can't get my mouse working properly. Some additional buttons (back and forward) act as mouse button 1 (left button) and others don't work at all, and I can't change this behavior.
I have tried some examples for xorg.conf from wiki, but nothing has changed.

Now I have the following InputDevice section in my xorg.conf

Section "InputDevice"
  Identifier      "Evdev Mouse"
  Driver          "evdev"
  Option          "Name" "KYE NAVIGATOR 535"
  Option          "evBits"  "+1-2"
  Option          "keyBits" "~272-287"
  Option          "relBits" "~0-2 ~6 ~8"
  Option          "Pass"    "3"
  Option          "CorePointer"
EndSection

To be honestly, I don't understand, what all these lines mean
And if I understand correctly, I'm using hotplugging. At least my keyboard settings are defined in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi .

I need to add, that all buttons on this mouse are programmable under windows through utility Agama. All settings are stored in mouse's eeprom, so this utility, I guess, is a some kind of programmer. I am afraid, that I will need to find some equivalent of this software under linux.

Can someone help me to make this mouse working?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. Please, move this topic to another subforum, if needed. I have some doubts about where to post this.
