Microsoft Comfort Mouse 4500 wrong axis

[Nico]

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-evdev

Evdev fails to correctly configure horizontal scrolling for the Microsoft Comfort Mouse 4500.

Instead of buttons 6 and 7 a third axis (valuator 2) is recognized. Pushing the scroll wheel to the left (right) causes a decrease (increase) of valuator 2. No button event is shown in xev. Valuator 2 was associated to GAS. I think it rather should be associated to HWHEEL.

On my Lenovo Thinkpad X121e with 12.04 beta2 amd64 with all updates the horizontal mouse wheel works.

I'm having the same problem as the last two commentators

Nico, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-input-evdev REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.
