[linux-help] Scroll mouse only knows down

[Ryan Claycamp <ryanc@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I purchased a cheap GE/Jasco optical scroll mouse last night. It works
fine except for the scroll wheel; I can only scroll down. After a
search on Google Groups I discovered the xev program. It reports that
either way I move the wheel is an event for button 5.

I've changed the protocol under X to different ones, I started with
ImPS/2. Sometimes xev only sees three buttons but if it sees the wheel
both directions are button 5. Is there anything I can can do? Should I
just return the mouse? If so, do I replace it or spend a little extra
money to get a Logitech or even Microsoft? I've heard that Microsoft
at least makes good hardware.

I'm in Dayton now. Tomorrow I'm going to my first DLUG meeting.
