Maybe this might help you 
These are my usb mouse settings 

/etc/rc.conf
moused_enable="NO"

/etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Mouse0"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option      "Protocol" "Auto"
    Option      "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
EndSection

~/.xinitrc
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 8 9 6 7 10 11"

With this config I have no problems
except that when I spin my mouse wheel really fast in firefox or opera
it opens a new page when it goes over a link

All I do now is to scroll more patiently if I want to move fast from the
top of a page to the bottom I use the keyboard
