Our scroll function of our interactive whiteboard doesn't work,
http://www.vmarker.org . When we use the scroll wheel, we have seen that
the correct HID reports are transmitted to the PC. You can see this in
the next example:
#sudo cat /dev/hidraw2 | xxd -c6
0000018: 0001 8402 7800 ....x.
000001e: 0001 8402 7800 ....x.
0000024: 00ff 8402 7800 ....x.
000002a: 00ff 8402 7800 ....x.
The build up of our HID reports is:
-First byte: bit 0 and bit 1 are left and right mouse button
-Second byte: is the scroll in relative axis (127 to -128)
-byte 3 and 4: is the X-axis in absolute coordinate (0 to 1023)
-byte 5 and 6: is the Y-axis in absolute coordinate (0 to 1023)
As you can see in the output of the command the PC receives the correct scroll
values 1 (0x01) and -1(0xFF).
When I run the same command with a normal usb mouse I get similar output except
the absolute coordinates.
Next thing I checked was if xorg correctly find and configured my
device.

You can see that xorg correctly found my device. I can narrow down the
problem to /dev/input/event6 in my case. I can make out of this info
that xorg correctly found the axis and configured them.
With #sudo cat /dev/input/event6 | xxd -c48 I checked if xorg is reporting the
correct data.

I can perfectly view the scroll data, in 32bit format. the -1(ffff ffff)
and 1 (0100 0000) in the stream. I cross checked this with my normal usb
mouse and I get the same information, but a working scroll function.
The scroll function works on:
-ubuntu 11.10, 11.04, 10.10, ... (only 64bit tested)
-debian 6.0 (32bit and 64bit)
-windows XP, vista, 7 (32bit and 64bit)
-mac osx 10.6 and 10.7
