Mouse bindkey with button 8 and 9

ClintMeyer
I have a mouse with more than just 3 buttons and a scroll wheel. XEV shows the extra buttons as "button 8" and "button 9". I want to use them as bindkeys but does not work like buttons 1-5 do. Any ideas?

    Thanks for the answer.  I was able to use the extra buttons by reassigning the mouse buttons to function keys (F8, F9).  I used xbindkeys and xvkbd in conjunction to reassign the mouse buttons to keyboard strokes.  This works well but took some work to get those 2 programs working in RHEL 5
