After updating to the current version of xorg from unstable this morning, the scrollwheel stopped working. My first effort was to remove my previous xorg.conf file, thinking that the new auto-detection stuff would fix it.

I couldn't figure out how to tell xorg that it shouldn't be using synaptics, so I eventually tried to just remove the xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package from my system. Quick restart of X generated the following in the log:
