Greetings all; I have a wireless M$ Explorer Touchmouse, and the touch pad is buggier than a 10 day old carcass.
Specifically, the side scrolling is driving me crazy, and its not a long trip. ;) When it works, its 20x more sensitive sideways than vertically, and I can't get my fingers far enough away from the pad to stop its crazy behavior, and still rest them in a comfy location for button pushing. Is there anything I can put in an /etc/X11 file that will shut the side scroll function off, but leave the vertical finger drags working? Even that goes away quite frequently, and I have to turn the mouse over, shut it off for a second or two & turn it back on, at which point it works fairly well but will eventually become intermittent in its response for an hour or so before completely dying, the the screen cursor still follows it well, and the two buttons work well. But I've blamed that on a buggy mouse. This is extremely distracting when I am writing code in geany (gedit does not have a sideways scroll, but it has trashed important source code file entirly too often, geany never has) because I have to drag the bar on the bottom back the the left stop in order to see what I am writing. I need help since the mouse makers figured out how to sell the high priced versions by putting the optical eye way back under the palm of our hands instead of up under your fingers in the #<$50 models. So the <$50 mice aren't at all intuitive to use because you are forced to move the whole arm when using them. Thanks guys & gals.
