I've never configured extra mouse buttons on linux but i have done it on Windows for game playing and so on. Well i don't even know if that is possible? Or may be i'm too ignorant to know that. Wait for some expert to comment...

Yeah, in ubuntu you have some software which lets you configure these mouse buttons for custom use. I don't remember the name though, a friend of mine used it a long time back. Wait for someone else to reply. I'll search its name and post back in a while...

On Ubuntu, you can use locomo to setup the custom configurations for your extra buttons of your mouse. Just open terminal and type :

sudo apt-get install lomoco

Hope this helps!

The most easiest software to configure your mouse button on ubuntu according to me would be btnx. Download btnx from spt-get. Its already in the default repositories of ubuntu. all the best!
