This message is flooding my kern.log, messages and syslog
Reason for this message is USB mouse Verbatim Rapier V2 bought on the beginning of 2009.
Message is flooding my logs since then.
That time I was using 2.6.27 on intrepid.
Then short time 2.6.28 on jaunty.
Currently 2.6.30-9 from https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa (on jaunty)
(I will update to 2.6.30-10 but I'm convinced it will not help.)
I tryed also server and rt versions of kernel.
Similar Bug : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/386671
Reporter closed as hardware problem.
But I have here 2 same Rapier V2 and multiple notebooks, kernels .. all the same.
Identical problem on Arch linux bugs: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15461
No answer and different mouse.
Importance of this is low.
In truth, it's only an annoyance.
But as I'm trying to help with bug reports, and it's not very helpful to have that message all over important logs.
If I misjudged the right package for report, please move it on the right place. I really don't know which part of the system is doing it (apart from the "kernel" string in messages).

I'm having the same problem here, with current karmic. My logs have gotten cluttered like this for ages, but it's not until now I realised what's causing these messages.
I have a Logitech MX500 mouse, with buttons above and below the scroll wheel to scroll up/down just by holding one of these buttons. Every time I push it, every time I release it, and a load of times when I move the mouse while pressing it, one of these lines gets logged. Seriously annoying, especially when scrolling in the System Log Viewer :P
