Christopher, as I wrote in post #18 above the horizontal scrolling works fine in the last mainline kernel for Oneiric and it is broken in the first mainline kernel for Precise, chronologically speaking.
Horizontal scrolling works fine in every mainline kernel for Oneiric that I tested, and it is broken in every mainline kernel for Precise that I tested. I did not test each and every kernel -- I did the bisecting exercise. How can I avoid jumping around distributions in such case? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1260513 Title: 045e:00f9 [Gateway DX4860] Horizontal scrolling is broken with 9-button Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 5000 Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: horizontal scrolling is broken with the 9-button Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 5000.
