Mouse Back/Forward and extra buttons don’t work with Synergy

I Did NOT have this problem when my Synergy Server was on Windows. When I switched my Synergy Server to my Red Hat Linux box, I noticed my Back/Forward mouse buttons didn’t work.
After searching around for a bit, adding the following lines to your synergy.conf file fixed this.
$ sudo vi /etc/synergy.conf
section: options
mousebutton(6) = keystroke(WWWBack)
mousebutton(7) = keystroke(WWWForward)
mousebutton(4) = ;
mousebutton(5) = ;
end
So with my current setup (sk-win7 <-> sk-redhat <-> sk-ubuntu) with sk-redhat being my Synergy Server, my /etc/synergy.conf looks like:
section: screens
sk-redhat:
sk-win7:
sk-ubuntu:
endsection: aliases
sk-win7:
10.4.1.1
endsection: links
sk-redhat:
left = sk-win7
right = sk-ubuntu
sk-win7:
right = sk-redhat
sk-ubuntu:
left = sk-redhat
endsection: options
mousebutton(6) = keystroke(WWWBack)
mousebutton(7) = keystroke(WWWForward)
mousebutton(4) = ;
mousebutton(5) = ;
end
After adding this section, I was able to get my mouse back/forward buttons to work on all of my boxes.
