After checking further I've found that my memory is correct.
With the patch as I originally submitted it (including the
INVERT_HWHEEL quirk):
1) Moving the scroll ball to the right sends positive
deltas (to /dev/input/event*), and moving it to the
left sends negative deltas. This is the same as the
mouse itself, of course.
2) You can use an xorg.conf entry as simple as
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "MouseMightyMouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse1"
Option "Dev Name" "Mitsumi Electric Apple Optical USB Mouse"
EndSection
3) X SW (other than Iceweasel, which has the misfeature
described earlier) just works properly.
Please don't remove the axis flip on the MM; it seems like
something most folks, including me, are quite happy with.
Instead, I'd suggest to Johannes that simplifying his X
config and/or fixing his Iceweasel config will straighten
his situation out. (Most of that config is unnecessary at
best anyhow; I got all the button remaps right in my
original patch.)
These results are for the USB MM. I have a Bluetooth MM
now, and am trying to find time to get it working also.
Sorry I haven't had time to do that yet. Soon, honest.
