Hi,

With an older 2.6.13-rc6 when I scroll the little ball on my Apple
mightymouse I see a 'Z' event, as shown by the output of 'evtest'
below.

With a just pulled 2.6.14-rc4 I don't see these events any more;
evtest doesn't report anything as happening at all when I scroll the
ball horizontally.  All other movement works the same, however, and
the header section of supported events is the same with both kernels.

Can anyone point me to what might have changed that could cause this
problem?  Also, do other people's mice with horizontal scroll report
it as a Z-axis event?  This seems a little strange, but I don't have
any other hardware to test.

Thanks
