Christopher, unless I do something this bug is going to expire in a couple of weeks. I don't want it to expire into a mass grave of orphaned bugs. I've invested a significant number of hours investigating it, all in the hope that my work won't be wasted, all in an attempt to make Ubuntu more friendly to end users.
I don't know what else I can do at this point. My posts here and pleas for directions are not affecting the impending expiration of this bug. -- 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.
