I wanted to give an update for 2022 and after the switch to FreeBSD rc instead of OpenRC. This post on the FreeBSD Forums solved my issue. XEV verified that my mouse scroll was occasionally producing the wrong inputs. I disabled the extra buttons using xmodmap. I didn't have to alter moused in rc.conf.

Hello, it is unfortunate that I've encountered this very annoying problem too, 10 years after creating of this thread, but in any case I solved it by running the following in fish:

xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0"

Editing xmodmap files did not help for some reason, only the command above

I'm glad you're problem is fixed. What type of xmodmap files did you create and where did you place them?

Sorry, I can't remember, most probably I put not enough zeros in my xmodmap files, I put many more in the xmodmap command and it worked
