Here is the information you requested. With the "mouse" driver
they read as 8 and 9.
With the "ws" driver the buttons read as 4 and 5 which is the same
as the mouse wheel up/down which would explain why the screen
scrolls up or down by one line when they are pressed.
BTW, thanks for the xorg.conf tidbit. It's much quicker to edit a
text-file than to recompile Xorg. :)
