As far as I know, this is because X now uses hal to configure input devices.
You can solve this by copying the attached file to /etc/hal/fdi/policy /mouse-wheel.fdi This only enabled up/down scrolling. If you want left/right, you have to remove the <!-- and --> lines (but not the lines between these two). ** Attachment added: "Hal policy to enable scrollwheel" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19561375/mouse-wheel.fdi -- scroll wheel emulation not working in Kubuntu 8.10 Beta https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/281008 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
