It's the scroll wheel, I have an MS Trekker mouse which did the same.
I think what fixed it was, tell X that the protocol for it is IMPS/2, in the
/etc/X11/XF86Config or /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file. This is what I
have:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
