Whenever I had this problem I got it working by installing the mouse drivers from the manufacturers website.
By using the default mouse drivers that my OS installed my extra mose buttons would not work.
Try that
Make sure to get the latest drivers specific to your mouse.
good luck

Does your mouse software allow you to assign the side button a new function for example assign that button to the ketstroke lto left shift, when you hit the button left shift is keyd. then in Quake assign a function to left shift.

poor example but you might get the meaning.

what is that button supposed to do by default??
