I installed Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex fresh today and tried kmoffat's amended fix. This worked for me. That is, I just created file /etc/hal/fdi/policy/mouse-wheel.fdi:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="info.product" string="Logitech USB Trackball"> <merge key="input.x11_options.Buttons" type="string">5</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.ButtonMapping" type="string">1 8 3 4 5 6 7 2 9</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheel" type="string">true</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheelButton" type="string">8</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheelTimeout" type="string">300</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.XAxisMapping" type="string">6 7</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.YAxisMapping" type="string">4 5</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.ZAxisMapping" type="string">4 5</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.Emulate3Buttons" type="string">true</merge> </match> </device> </deviceinfo> After a reboot I can scroll fine by holding down my left small mouse button.
