Well, it works...kinda. Both buttons on the left and right do the same
thing, while clicking on the wheel (which is the third button) pastes
highlighted text (at least in the console).
While booting, the kernel reports that it is a LOGITECH N48 instead of a
LOGITECH M4848.

I downloaded the XF86Config.imac file, copied it to /etc/X11/XF86Config,
and made the appropiate change to BootX (video=atyfb:vmode:17). My iMac now
boots up in 1024x768, but X still won't start. Here's the output:
execve failed for /etc/X11/X (errno 2)
_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
giving up
xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): Unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.

I assumed that since it was set for DHCP, it would pull the appropiate
values from the network automatically. However, I switched over to a static
IP, and had no problems.
