Val, thank you for providing the requested information. Given a solution
was found through a modification in evdev, I'll reassign to it. This
wouldn't be considered a duplicate of another bug at this point (ex.
926917) or vice versa as the other report doesn't have any log files for
the original reporter, and the proposed patch hasn't been acknowledged
by the OR to fix his problem.

The next step would be to engage evdev upstream in getting this reviewed for upstream inclusion by filing a report:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xorg

Component: Input/evdev

** Package changed: linux (Ubuntu) => xserver-xorg-input-evdev (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: xserver-xorg-input-evdev (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Triaged

Title:
  045e:00f9 [Gateway DX4860] Horizontal scrolling is broken with
  9-button Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 5000

Status in “xserver-xorg-input-evdev” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  horizontal scrolling is broken with the 9-button Microsoft Wireless
  Laser Mouse 5000.

  WORKAROUND: sudo apt-get install build-essential xserver-xorg-dev xutils-dev libudev-dev
  wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/xserver-xorg-input-evdev_2.7.0.orig.tar.gz
  wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/926917/+attachment/3373367/+files/horizontal_scrolling.patch
  tar -zxvf xserver-xorg-input-evdev_2.7.0.orig.tar.gz
  cd xf86-input-evdev-2.7.0
  patch -p1 < ../horizontal_scrolling.patch
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make

  To invert and fix the scrolling change the -1 on line 1601 of src/evdec.c to 1 so it should read:
  SetScrollValuator(device, axnum, SCROLL_TYPE_HORIZONTAL, 1.0, SCROLL_FLAG_NONE);
