I also have this problem on one machine only, other machines work fine. I've attached an X log in case its of any use.
I use both xmodmap and xinput to change settings, and both sets of changes are lost. It may be of interest to know that re-running xinput restores the desired settings, but re-running xmodmap does not.
The xinput line I use is:
xinput set-button-map "Kingsis Peripherals Evoluent VerticalMouse 2" 1 2 2 4 5
6 7 3 8
The xmodmap lies are (from .xmodmap):
keycode 133 = Pointer_Button1
keycode 134 = Pointer_Button2
keycode 66 = Pointer_Button3
When I first run xmodmap .xmodmap xev reports:
ButtonPress event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x2200001,
root 0x15d, subw 0x2200002, time 68980670, (49,36), root:(217,230),

But after the settings have been lost, and I run xmodmap .xmodmap again I
get:
KeyPress event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x1800001,
root 0x15d, subw 0x1800002, time 582323704, (47,48), root:(269,296),
state 0x0, keycode 133 (keysym 0xfee9, Pointer_Button1), same_screen
YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x1800001,

state 0x0, keycode 133 (keysym 0xfee9, Pointer_Button1), same_screen
YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
and this does not work - i.e. pressing the buttons on the keyboard does
not seem to give a mouse click...
