What helps (workaround - autodetect utilz (which one does it?) should DO THIS!):
edit xorg.conf
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata" ## you need to install package gpm
#Option "Protocol" "IntelliMouse"
#Option "Protocol" "Logitech"
#Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Why the "workaround" or editing xorg.conf is NOT enough::
1. U have usual 2B mouse on COM1 & u plug in USB MX500
2. u have basic 3B PS/2 mouse & touchpad on laptop & u plug in wireless bluetooth MX-900
3. you have plugged M$ Explorer mouse & Genius scrolll mouse - you plug them both off, then you plug in wireless MX 518 or wifi laser MX-1000
4. etc. aso.
5. if you tell one computer, one mouse ... : I'll tell you: ... one OS, eine Sprache, ein Reich, ein Fuehrer
There is USB for Plug&Play (not pray), it works(!) (if xorg.conf is OK), and all above situations work on all win* OS. /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +bug/95729 /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ xorg/+bug/ 52288 /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ xorg/+bug/ 107900 /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ xorg/+bug/ 47579 /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ xorg/+bug/ 42678 /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +bug/95729 /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ firefox/ +bug/127514 /bugs.launchpad .net/yelp/ +bug/13438 /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ xserver- xgl/+bug/ 98629 /launchpad. net/ubuntu/ +source/ firefox/ +bug/31827 /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ xorg/+bug/ 20008 /launchpad. net/ubuntu/ +source/ xserver- xorg-input- mouse /launchpad. net/ubuntu/ +source/ xserver- xorg-input- evdev /help.ubuntu. com/community/ MX1000Mouse ubuntuforums. org/showthread. php?t=57794& highlight= mouse+scroll+ wheel ubuntuforums. org/showpost. php?p=1295974& postcount= 13
