EADBP is an Apple "Standard" for how to do multi-button mice on the ADB.

On the other hand, if the 2&3rd buttons actually pretend to be be keyboard
operations on the ADB then they might still work.  If a special MacOS
driver is installed to do the translation then they probably won't because
the driver doesn't stay around under BSD.

On my keyboard the Option key is labeled Alt. . .

If you can figure out the key mappings for X you should be able to do
anything you want.  Isn't xmodmap the command?
