edit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-vmmouse.conf

and add this:

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier      "vmmouse"
        MatchIsPointer  "on"
        MatchTag        "vmmouse"
        Driver          "vmmouse"
        Option          "Buttons" "5"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
