Changing Logitech Trackman Marble Buttons in X11

All:

Trying to get my Logitech Trackman Marble (trackball) to work under ZorinOS v12.4 32-bit. Most of what I have is running openSuse Tumbleweed, but I recently received a 2006 MacBookPro 17 1,2 running OS X 10.6.x from my brother-in-law. Tumbleweed would not setup an EFI boot so I tried a Zorin 6 install DVD I had. So impressed I got the latest 32-bit I could, 12.4, to try and this is one nice OS for this Ol' MacBook.

My problem is configuring the buttons on my Logitech TrackMan Marble (trackball). The small buttons are all, but useless as backward/left and forward/right and under Tumbleweed I was able to configure them in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d by adding a file 70-logitech-trackman.conf which contained:

#
# InputClass configuration for Logitech USB trackball
#
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "TrackmanConfiguration"
MatchProduct "Logitech USB Trackball"
Driver "evdev"
Option "ButtonMapping" "1 9 3 4 5 6 7 8 2"
Option "ConstantDeceleration" "0.7"
Option "EmulateWheel" "1"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "8"
EndSection

Unfortunately, it does not seem to be possible to try this in Zorin 12.4 as the X11 configuration is seems to be done differently; e.g. the folder structure is different/missing.

Anyone have a suggestion(s) how I might be able to set this trackball up under Zoring 12 32-bit?

God Bless,
