Subject: [patch] X misparses the EXPS/2 mouse protocol. Package: xserver-xfree86 Severity: normal
To make a long story short, X is wrong in how it parses the wheel data
for EXPS/2 protocol mice.
0xF and 0x1 are used to indicate the first wheel, and 0xE and 0x2 for
the second wheel.
(Yes, I have real hardware which generates this.)
