This is a sign that the mouse is not using the Mouse Systems protocol,
but rather the Microsoft protocol. My mouse has a switch on the bottom
that I have to change on those rare occasions that I boot Windows.
Some mice require you to hold a button down when powering up in order to
switch to Mouse Systems mode.

Very likely to work, but you'll only have two buttons. Try to get the
mouse to speak Mouse Systems if you can...
