How did you do that? I prefer xmodmap because it's way less
complicated, but there seem to be things that can not be done with it,
and mapping mouse buttons seemed to be one of them.

Does Emacs receive the event? You can test with (describe-key). I
could probably use something like this:
(global-set-key (kbd "<down-mouse-1>") 'end-of-buffer)
That might work if Emacs gets <down-mouse-13>. If it doesn't know that
many buttons and you're not running out of button numbers, perhaps you
can re-map the buttons with xinput so they have lower button mumbers
Emacs can understand.
