Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
Version: 1.1.0-1

I have a Microsoft Natral Wireless Laser Mouse 7000 which xinput identifies as 
"Microsoft Microsoft? 2.4GHz Transceiver V1.0". After updating to the current 
version of xorg from unstable this morning, the scrollwheel stopped working. My 
first effort was to remove my previous xorg.conf file, thinking that the new 
auto-detection stuff would fix it.

After doing that, the xorg log reported the following:

(II) config/hal: Adding input device Microsoft Microsoft? 2.4GHz Transceiver 
V1.0
(II) LoadModule: "synaptics"

Which seemed to be enough to make the mouse move around, but no joy on the 
scrollwheel. Tools like xev reported no activty when using the buttons beyond 1 
& 2. I couldn't figure out how to tell xorg that it shouldn't be using 
synaptics, so I eventually tried to just remove the 
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package from my system. Quick restart of X 
generated the following in the log:

(II) config/hal: Adding input device Microsoft Microsoft? 2.4GHz Transceiver 
V1.0
(II) LoadModule: "evdev"

And now the scrollwheel works, the extra button works... it's just how it 
should be. I don't have any compelling reason to have 
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics installed, but it would be nice to be able to 
install xserver-xorg-input-all again.
