I have an Acrox PS2 mouse being used with Xorg 6.8.2, and
2.6.12-10-amd64-k8-smp
The InputDevice section of xorg.conf includes:-
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

The problem I have is that the mouse has two side buttons (presumbaly 6
and 7) that I would like to de-activate because I find that I frequently
press them by accident. At the moment they seem to do the same as normal
left and right buttons.

Is there a way of telling X not to respond to these buttons?

Try "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2", "Buttons" "7", and "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"

Thanks. That seems to have done the trick.

Actually, I've just disvovered a disadvantage. In Bluefish (e.g.) the wheel
now does horizontal and not vertical scrolling. Presumably I need to tweak
the "ZAxisMapping" value.
