Oh, I'm sorry..

Isn't the middle mouse button normally the paste button and the the
button for the ring finger opens the context menu?

Regarding the Forward button, I've thought about using the wheel button
for this instead, but this causes havoc under KDE, see bug 448021.

To revert this change (or otherwise manipulate it locally), copy /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/evoluent-verticalmouse3.fdi to /etc/hal/fdi/policy and change the following line:
<merge key="input.x11_options.ButtonMapping" type="string">1 2 2 4 5 6 7 3 8</merge>

If you use
<merge key="input.x11_options.ButtonMapping" type="string">1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9</merge>
you'll have the default again (after unplugging and plugging in your mouse).

For me, the mouse wheel button is quite difficult to press, and since I use middle click a lot for pasting, I've remapped it.
I'm interested what other users of this mouse think, and it would be OK for me to revert this altogether, if it's a regression for others, too.
