Moused and XFree86 3.3.3.1 dont support a particular new type of
mouse.
This is the PS/2 Intellimouse clone. (I'm note sure if 'real'
MicroSoft Intellimice work ??).
My mouse is such a clone and behaves the same as you are saying but
works fine under Windows 95 with the PS/2 mouse driver.
Someone who was interested in this when I complained about my mouse
was Kazutaka Yokota who replied to me with the attached message.

"If it is true that our Universe has a zero net value for all conserved

Well, moused was originally based on XFree86 code. However, the other
way round is the case these days; XFree86 mouse code is based on
moused code :-)

The mouse is certainly claiming to be IntelliMouse...
Please carry out the following test and send me the result.
1. Become root.
2. Kill moused if it is running.
3. Capture the rest of the experiment by the `script' command.
script _file_name_to_save_output_
4. Run moused in the debug mode.
moused -d -f -p /dev/psm0 -l 2
5. Don't move mouse, but click buttons in turn. You should see
status output from moused.
6. Then, move mouse and turn it wheel.
7. Stop moused by hitting ^C.
8. Stop the script command by typing `exit'.
