I bought a Contour Design Unimouse because I wanted a 3 button mouse to use with the Acme editor in devel/plan9port.
The mouse and all its buttons are recognized fine, the only problem is that every button sends a button 1 click in addition to its own button click. For example: I press the right button and x11/xev reports a click for both buttons 1 and 3. I've also confirmed the same behaviour in the console with moused.
The Unimouse has 7 physical buttons and this is how
I've also tried most of the settings mentioned in mouse(4x)() and none have helped so far. If I try to set

xev -event button reports them:
Code:
Button 1 = Left
Button 2 = Middle* and scroll wheel click*
Button 3 = Right*
Button 4 = Scroll wheel up
Button 5 = Scroll wheel down
Button 8 = Browser back*
Button 9 = Browser forward*
* also sends button 1 xmodmap -pp reports 10 buttons for the mouse when using auto detection. I've played around with xmodmap -e "pointer = ..." and so far the only thing I've accomplished is that if I disable button 1 (with a zero), then all the other buttons work fine. Any other combination (I've tried many) and it continues sending button 1 on the other buttons.I've also tried most of the settings mentioned in mouse(4x)() and none have helped so far.

Option "Buttons" "7" xmodmap reports that the mouse now has 14 buttons...Lastly, here is the output of
