KDE mouse mapping

[techniq]

I was wondering if its possible to make an extra button on a logitech mouse (mx700) to go back in the browser. I have it setup that way in another browser and kinda grew used to it.

I don't know about Mozilla, but the Opera 7.11 browser for Linux has a "gestures" that enable you to do much more than just BACK, without necessarily using buttons at all.

Opera can be used free with an ads version or purchased, sans ads. I don't know if there are any functional limitations to the free version. I've been using Opera for 5 years now and it is by far my favorite browser. It is, as claimed, by far the fastest many featured browser available. It was one of the first to have window tabs and gestures. I have a version for both of my operating systems. Originally, the M$Windows versions were significantly more advanced and polished than their Linux versions, but with the recent release of Opera 7 for Linux, I now think that their Linux version is better than their M$Windows version.

At any rate, if you can't get the buttons to work as you like, try 'gestures'.
