X.org 6.8 and evdev: type 1 (Key), code 240 (?), value -1

[robert evert]

Hi list,

I'm still trying to get my tilt wheel working, but still it doesn't want
to ;)
I patched my X.org with the 9000_all_6.7.99.2-lnx-evdev-core-v2.patch
and the 9002_all_6.7.0-lnx-evdev-mouse.patch, edited my X.org Config to
this:

Section "InputDevice"
  Driver       "mouse"
  Identifier   "Mouse[1]"
  Option       "Device" "/dev/input/event2"
  Option       "Emulate3Buttons" "off"
  #Option       "ButtonNumber" "7"
  Option       "Name" "Autodetection"
  Option       "Protocol" "evdev"
  Option       "Vendor" "Sysp"
  Option       "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
  Option       "Resolution" "400"
  Option      "Dev Name"   "*Microsoft*"
EndSection

but xev doesn't show up anything for the tilt wheel, the normal Mouse
Functions are alright. 
When I run evtest /dev/input/event2 I get some events generated by the
tilt wheel, but them too are not specified:


# evtest /dev/input/event2

The information about the Wireless Optical Mouse� 1.0A is not right, its
a 2.0, is that relevant?
Hope I just did anything wrong, I really like the tilt wheel....

Thanks,
