Title:
  Right mouse wheel tilt kills xorg

Status in “xorg-server” source package in Hardy:

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-evdev

  When using a MS Wireless 5000 mouse configured with evdev, tilting the
  wheel to the right which should be a button event kills the xorg
  server.

  Relevant part of the xorg.conf :

  --------- Paste
  # this is the evdev version of the mouse declaration
  Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "MS Wireless 5000"
    Driver "evdev"
    option "device" "/dev/input/event2"
  #  option "device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
  # Using the link doesn't work ??
  #  option "device" "/dev/input/by-id/usb-Microsoft_Microsoft_Wireless_Optical_Mouse_1.00-mouse"
    option "CorePointer"
    # Reference by name only below doesn't seem to work
  #  option "name" "Microsoft Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse® 1.00"
    option "Phys" "usb-0000:00:1a.7-3.1.2/input0"
    option "Buttons" "9"
    option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
  EndSection
  ------------- End Paste

  I also tried using the "mouse" driver, letting it pick the protocol
  (it picked PS/2) which didn't work, then picking USB which seemed
  appropriate but the mouse driver didn't know what to make of it.

  When the X server fails, it outputs the following message (from
  Xorg.0.log)

  --------------- paste
  Fatal server error:
  Bad valuators reported for device MS Wireless 5000

  (II) MS Wireless 5000: Off
  -------------- End paste

  I reported this as being from evdev as it seems to be a bug that has
  been nailed in xfree :
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14342 but might not have
  trickled down to production versions yet.

  I didn't see that many references to that thing, let me know if you
  need more details.
