I can't seem to find a solution for the mouse buttons generating characters when pressed. I'm running kernel 2.6.7-gentoo, gpm 1.20.1 and an USB attached Gyration mouse/keyboard RF combo. The exact symptoms are:
    - left mouse button generates the normal left click AND the key Q
    - right mouse button generates the normal right click AND the key W
    - mid mouse button generates the normal middle click AND the key E
Others seem to have the same problem with various combo USB HID products:

This is a snip from dmesg:
Code:
usb 2-2: new low speed USB device using address 2
drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: ctrl urb status -32 received
input: USB HID v1.00 Keyboard [Gyration GyroPoint RF Technology Receiver] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-2
drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: ctrl urb status -32 received
drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: ctrl urb status -32 received
drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: ctrl urb status -32 received
drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: ctrl urb status -32 received
input: USB HID v1.00 Mouse [Gyration GyroPoint RF Technology Receiver] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-2
usbcore: registered new driver usbhid
drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.0:USB HID core driver

But I think the explanation lies here:
Code:
#cat /proc/bus/input/devices
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=0c16 Product=0001 Version=0120
N: Name="Gyration GyroPoint RF Technology Receiver"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:1d.0-2/input0
H: Handlers=kbd
B: EV=12000b
B: KEY=e080ffdf 1cfffff ffffffff fffffffe
B: ABS=300 0
B: LED=1f

I: Bus=0003 Vendor=0c16 Product=0001 Version=0120
N: Name="Gyration GyroPoint RF Technology Receiver"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:1d.0-2/input1
H: Handlers=mouse0 kbd
B: EV=10000f
B: KEY=ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffff0000 38007 ff8039fa d843d7ff 80beffcd 1cfffff febffbff dfffffff
B: REL=103
B: ABS=101 0

i.e. The mouse has listed the kbd handler besides mouse0.
But I don't know how to manually remove that handler... :(
I assume I need to modify one of the /etc/hotplug/usb* files, but which one and how?

I use a Logitech MX700 Combo and I think I had the same symptoms. I had not checked /proc/bus/input/devices and have since given up on the issue and just used the ps/2 adapters. Maybe I will reconfigure and check it out.

I am now running 2.6.7-love5 with the update-3 patch and the issue seems to have been corrected. Here is the output of my /proc/bus/input/devices:
