Since you know how to program with your big phat CS degree, what you want to do is become what is known as an "API Technical Writer." You will make a lot more money than us people who write "point here, click there" type manuals. And I think you will be able to find a job even now because there are not a lot of writers you are bona fide programmers.
I have accomplished this on my PowerBook Pismo running debian and BenH's vmlinux-2.2.17pre20-ben3 kernel... However, I haven't fiddled with this in a looong time, and can't remember exactly how to do it.
Essentially, you have to either:
1) set some kernel arguments at boot time (e.g., adb_buttons=1,x,y where x and y = the keycodes for the keyboard buttons that will emulate the second and third mouse buttons respectively.
or
2) create a init script that runs at boot time that sets the values of files in/proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/ (see Franzo's blurb)
I have gotten both methods to work, but use the second one on my PowerBook
