[xorg-server-1.5.2] Mouse wheel trouble

[Tobias Jakobi]

Hi there,

having some trouble with my mouse wheel. The hardware is a MS IntelliMouse Optical USB.

System is running
xorg-server-1.5.2
xf86-input-evdev-2.0.6
gentoo-sources-2.6.27
hal-0.5.11-r1

The problem: When starting/restarting the xserver the mousewheel does not work. Investigating with xev reveals that the wheel generates button events 6 and 7.

How to get the mouse working: Unplug and replug the device, then the wheel starts working. However now the wheel does produce button events 4 and 5.

I assume that should not happen at all. I'm currently hotfixing this by letting a script do a modprobe -r uhci-hcd, sleeping and loading the module again (which does essentially the same like unplugging and replugging the mouse).

Is this a configuration issue, or a problem with the driver code itself?

Greets,
Tobias
