it started as a bug report: it have a 5-button mouse with a wheel, even

surprised to find these buttons cause scrolling, like the wheel. If this
behavior is intended, the rest of this e-mail is moot.
This isn't a bug apparently. Are the extra buttons recognised by xev? If
they are, remap them with xmodmap(1). If they aren't, well, then it should
be done by xf86-input-evdev or libinput. There's been some work in FreeBSD,
and the drivers are in ports, but OpenBSD doesn't have them.
I use a 4-button Logitech trackball mouse. It required remapping in
xmodmap to make it work.
Yes, xev showed enough information to see "button up" and "button down"
events to use as input to xmodmap.
