A note to interested parties, this bug (scrollwheel too fast) has been fixed upstream (see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48118) and should be coming to the distros somewhere down the road. To partake of the fix, you have to add some lines to either your xorg.conf (if you have one) or a new file. The new file would look like:
#cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-scrollpoint.conf Section "InputClass" Identifier "ScrollPoint" MatchUSBID "04b3:3100|04b3:3103|04b3:3105|04b3:3108|04b3:3109" Option "VertScrollDelta" "18" Option "HorizScrollDelta" "18" EndSection Perhaps someone with access to the metadata of this bug can update it appropriately to reflect this change in status. Thanks! ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #48118 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48118 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/126897 Title: IBM ScrollPoint mouse scrolls vertically VERY fast and has no horizontal scrolling Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in “linux-source-2.6.20” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in “xserver-xorg-input-mouse” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-mouse Hello, I've just bought this mouse: http://www5.pc.ibm.com/th/products.nsf/$wwwpartnumlookup/_31P7405?OpenDocument&sourcesite=lenovo And found out that scrolling is highly unusable under Linux. The vertical scrolling is VERY sensitive, a single soft touch at the scrolling button generates dozens of scrolling events, as opposed to Lenovo' s official Windows driver. Windows also have this problem when running with Windows factory drivers. It seems that Lenovo' s driver does some "software level event filtering" to let it work properly. I found an old thread at LKML: http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0410.3/0799.html Where this issue already appears. All points to the need of a specific workarround for this mouse model. Also, the horizontal scroll can not be configured in any way. I tried remapping all (17 i guess) detected mouse buttons to horizontal scrolling and nothing. I had success making my Synaptics touchpad work fine, but this mouse has no way to make horizontal scrolling work. Here is lsusb output: $ lsusb Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 003: ID 04b3:3108 IBM Corp. 800dpi Optical Mouse w/ Scroll Point Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Hope this get fixed, or I've just lost some money buying this mouse...
