 	Hmm.  Like this?

Device '3Dconnexion SpaceNavigator':
 	Device Enabled (133):	1
 	Evdev Reopen Attempts (266):	10
 	Evdev Axis Inversion (267):	0, 0
 	Evdev Axis Calibration (268):
 	Evdev Axes Swap (269):	0
 	Evdev Middle Button Emulation (270):	2
 	Evdev Middle Button Timeout (271):	50
 	Evdev Wheel Emulation (272):	1
 	Evdev Wheel Emulation Axes (273):	0, 0, 4, 5
 	Evdev Wheel Emulation Inertia (274):	0
 	Evdev Wheel Emulation Timeout (275):	200
 	Evdev Wheel Emulation Button (276):	0
 	Evdev Drag Lock Buttons (277):	0

 	Because I still get mouse movements when I do that.

 	Hmm.  But I want to map two of the axes to mouse movements, and two to 
scroll.  Can that be done?

 	Ok, I haven't tried this yet, but use this tip when I get the 
scrolling working.

 	:)
