Public bug reported: 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... Thank you.
