Dear all,
does your lovely ipensuse supports mice with many more keys than the default 2 (+ wheel).
Actially I am intrested for a mouse with back and forward buttons for the web browser.
I would like to thank you in advance for your help

Normaly Unix/Linux desktop software assumes you have a three mouse buttons (one may be a clicking scroller of course). Two button mice are required to mimic the middel button by e.g. clicking both buttons together. Thus your statement about " the default 2 (+ wheel)." is wrong. Three mouse buttons were used by X under Unix way before the two button mouse was used in PCs.

does the box it comes in have a beautiful penguin icon (next to the
broken windows logo)?
does the box list linux as one of the possible ‘requirements’?
do they provide you a linux driver when you put money in their hand?
i’d say if the answer to all of those is no, then it may or may not work
as you expect with our lovely openSUSE…
if you were to google using the brand and model number you may or may
not learn that it works great, or not…like this (just sub in the
rodent you eye):

I have a Logitech M510 that works well with Firefox on openSUSE 11.4, with a
thumb button for back/forward.
IIRC, there is an effort in KDE to get the F/B rocker to work in Konquerer.
I have got three different input devices :
Touchpad (working great, but not used)
A nano catpor Mouse (working fine, since Install : left click, right click, middle click, wheel, forward, backward)
An Apple Magic mouse (one physical button, with a glass top, recognizing up/down/left/right swipe, recognizing left and right clicks) take a look at it and tell yourself : This mouse doesn’t need any driver, wahou…magicmouse
Since 2008, I never had a single problem with Linux and input devices, whereas with Windope…
So, I’d tell you don’t risk anything
