With the 4-up, you can use the 1234 keys.  I haven't tried the arrows.

IIRC, you

  sudo perl -e 'print chr(255)' > /dev/mouse

Or thereabouts to reset it.  I had an suid compiled C program that did 
roughly that, but now I don't know where the source went.  It might 
take more than one byte -- I seem to remember it quit working at one 
kernel version but I've long since lost my patience with belkin and 
quit using it.

Google seems to think you should read the 3-button mouse howto or 
something.
