[SOLVED] Disabling broken mouse button

Hi all,

I found my mouse button 9 is broken: xev reveals it registers even when not pressed (especially in a naughty day), and my guess is it's the hardware that's stuffed. So, is there a way to tell xorg or whatever to ignore the event? Thanks.

I expect you can use xinput to map that button to nothing.
