Title:
Right mouse wheel tilt kills xorg
Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu:

Status in “xorg-server” source package in Hardy:
Won't Fix

Bug description:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-evdev
When using a MS Wireless 5000 mouse configured with evdev, tilting the
wheel to the right which should be a button event kills the xorg
server.
Relevant part of the xorg.conf :
--------- Paste
# this is the evdev version of the mouse declaration
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "MS Wireless 5000"
Driver "evdev"
option "device" "/dev/input/event2"
# option "device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
# Using the link doesn't work ??
# option "device"
"/dev/input/by-id/usb-Microsoft_Microsoft_Wireless_Optical_Mouse_1.00-mouse"
option "CorePointer"
# Reference by name only below doesn't seem to work
# option "name" "Microsoft Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse® 1.00"
option "Phys" "usb-0000:00:1a.7-3.1.2/input0"
option "Buttons" "9"
option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
------------- End Paste
I also tried using the "mouse" driver, letting it pick the protocol
(it picked PS/2) which didn't work, then picking USB which seemed
appropriate but the mouse driver didn't know what to make of it.
When the X server fails, it outputs the following message (from
Xorg.0.log)
--------------- paste
Fatal server error:
Bad valuators reported for device MS Wireless 5000
(II) MS Wireless 5000: Off
-------------- End paste
I reported this as being from evdev as it seems to be a bug that has
been nailed in xfree :
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14342 but might not have
trickled down to production versions yet.
I didn't see that many references to that thing, let me know if you
need more details.
