Effect disappears when mouse is plugged to USB port directly, without 
adapter. Besides that with ums(4) buttons 6 and 7 works although it has 
the same affect as button 1.
But there is no ability to power off USB port at the moment it seems
(http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-usb/2005-December/001756.html). 
PS/2 advantage: 'killall moused' results in turning mouse off, for USB 
it doesn't.
