I gave up in the end and have moved to a TOSHIBA PA3705D media keyboard with 
integrated mouse pad. Despite other reviews hating it, I am very pleased 
with it as it works great in both ubuntu 9.10 & XP. Not as good as the 
scroll point for precision stuff but great.

regards

Paul

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:

Hope this get fixed, or I've just lost some money buying this mouse...

Thank you.
