[Desktop-packages] [Bug 317025] Re: Compaq CPQ750TP scrolling horizontally causes vertical scrolling
When I looked into this (years ago), from what I could tell, windows was enabling a different mode of operation in the mouse, one that sent both horizontal and vertical scrolling data to the computer. Linux was using the default mode which translated virticle scrolling to up and down button presses, and horizontal scrolling to tripled up or trippled down button presses. I was unable to do anything with this in hal. The only thing I have noticed change in the years since I first reported this issue is that more than three buttons became supported on the mouse. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-evdev in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/317025 Title: Compaq CPQ750TP scrolling horizontally causes vertical scrolling Status in “xserver-xorg-input-evdev” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When attempting to scroll horizontally with my Compaq CPQ750TP I get fast vertical scrolling.
