I wonder if this would be explained by the following changelog entry: xfree86 (4.2.1-12) unstable; urgency=high [...] * patch #097: new; add Bartosz Zapalowski's patch for supporting wheel mice with large numbers of buttons; the ZAxisMapping option "pushes up" the other buttons so that the mouse behaves sanely. This addresses problems with how the X server parses wheel data from at least some devices that use the ExplorerPS/2 protocol. (Closes: #166550) [...] -- Branden Robinson <branden@debian.org> Tue, 30 Sep 2003 15:34:48 -0500 How recently did you notice this change in scroll wheel behavior? What version of the xfree86 packages were you running previously? -- G.
