Public bug reported: I have created a userland application, resetmsmice, which fixes scroll wheel issues with certain Wireless Microsoft mice in X.org (includes KDE & Gnome applications), where the vertical wheel scrolls abnormally fast. Only needed if you dual boot between Microsoft Windows and some linux distro. Known to fix the vertical scroll wheel issue with the following models (and others related): # Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500 # Microsoft Wireless Mouse 5000 This program basically just resets a setting in the mouse through usb communications and then exits. Only if the mouse matches vendor [0x045e] (Microsoft) and product code [0x0745] (a series of Microsoft Wireless mice) it will check for this usb setting.
This code is released under the GNU GPL v2 license. It is available here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/resetmsmice/files/ I will be creating Ubuntu and Fedora packages shortly. This bug has been reported previously, but the resolution I've seen has been to unplug the receiver and plug it back in. A bit of a pain to have to constantly do! This code will fix that. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/971321 Title: Several Models of Microsoft Wireless Mice, i.e. model 3500 and 5000 have vertical scroll wheel issues in linux To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/971321/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
