Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
Hello,
I've just bought this mouse:
http://
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://
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:
$ lsusb

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