Hi Julian

Do any mouse events get fired for the scrolling? You can use the program
``xev'' to capture all mouse events.

I'm not familiar with devices with quad-directional scrolling, but it
may be as simple as telling X that you have a multibutton mouse (and
maybe tweaking the ZAxisMapping in xorg.conf or judicious use of
xmodmap).

Cheers
