Christopher, unless I do something this bug is going to expire in a
couple of weeks. I don't want it to expire into a mass grave of orphaned
bugs. I've invested a significant number of hours investigating it, all
in the hope that my work won't be wasted, all in an attempt to make
Ubuntu more friendly to end users.

I don't know what else I can do at this point. My posts here and pleas
for directions are not affecting the impending expiration of this bug.

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

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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);
