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

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete
Status in “linux-source-2.6.20” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix
Status in “xserver-xorg-input-mouse” package in Ubuntu: Triaged
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:
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.

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

Hello,
I've just bought this mouse:
