Hi Mike

I've never had to do this myself, but know its certainly possible.

This link may be a start

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Advanced_Mouse

The section called XModMap may be worth looking .

This also looks pretty useful. Linux.com have some excellent articles, 
and thsi one is very current, so probably more likely to succeed then 
XModMap perhaps.

Always many ways to 'skin a cat ' in Linux ..

Hopefully, someone else can suggest something a bit more concrete ...
