One thing I forgot to mention is that normally these side buttons are
used for forward and back in a web browser (or similar application). I
forget what the kernel calls them (you can test with evtest on the
console), but in firefox 3 buttons 8 and 9 should move you forward and
backwards in your history. Obviously, you can remap them to whatever
you want, but that is the original intention.
