A note to interested parties, this bug (scrollwheel too fast) has been
fixed upstream (see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48118)
and should be coming to the distros somewhere down the road.  To partake
of the fix, you have to add some lines to either your xorg.conf (if you
have one) or a new file.  The new file would look like:

#cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-scrollpoint.conf
Section "InputClass"
  Identifier "ScrollPoint"
  MatchUSBID "04b3:3100|04b3:3103|04b3:3105|04b3:3108|04b3:3109"
  Option "VertScrollDelta" "18"
  Option "HorizScrollDelta" "18"
EndSection

Perhaps someone with access to the metadata of this bug can update it
appropriately to reflect this change in status.

Thanks!

Title:
  IBM ScrollPoint mouse scrolls vertically VERY fast and has no
  horizontal scrolling

  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.
