Aspire 5920G (Linux)-Disabling media buttons
Few days ago I've installed Xubuntu on my Acer Aspire 5920G notebook. I saw that blue media buttons (these on the right side of the keyboard) started to work as a mouse wheel. Using 'play/pause' with 'stop' I can scroll vertically, and using 'next' with 'prev' I can scroll horizontally. It's quite annoying, because I often use them accidentally. When I was using Windows, there wasn't any problem (buttons didn't worked).
Is there any method to disable them (like in Windows)?

Try disabling media features in Programs and features/ turn windows features on and off.

But I want to disable them on Linux. On Windows buttons are inactive defaultly (and luckily I can't switch them on).

Thanks, it works.
These buttons occured as buttons 4-->7. I used (sudo xmodmap -e 'pointer = 1 2 3 0 0 0 0')
EDIT:
When I had done it, scroll wheel in mouse stopped working too. It's better to add to autostart command like (xinput set-button-map ID 1 2 3 0 0 0 0), where ID is touchpad device number found by (xinput) without arguments.
