Sorry, I typo'ed the man page name, there's no _:

% man -M /usr/X11R7/share/man mousedrv

     Option "ButtonMapping" "N1 N2 [...]"
            Specifies how physical mouse buttons  are  mapped  to
            logical buttons.  Physical button 1 is mapped to log-
            ical button N1, physical  button  2  to  N2,  and  so
            forth.  This enables the use of physical buttons that
            are         obscured         by         ZAxisMapping.
            Default: "1 2 3 8 9 10 ...".
