I was also affected by this bug recently. I use a Mac Pro (not a notebook) and Ubuntu 8.10 installed mouseemu by default and it broke my forward and back buttons on my mouse. I had a heck of a time figuring out what was wrong since the button presses didn't event come up in xev! after un-installing mouseemu everything works perfectly again.
