Just wanted to add that I just upgraded to 10.04 (from 9.10) and the update broke my mouse wheel.

kernel: 2.6.32-24-generic #38-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jul 5 09:20:59 UTC 2010 x86_64
mouse: PS2++ Logitech Wheel Mouse

all other mouse functions work, including pressing the mouse wheel to paste. none of the workarounds did anything for me (un/plug, rmmod/modprobe, boot windows first, etc).

xev doesn't show anything when I scroll the mouse, but every other button works (1-7, just 8 and 9 are missing).

I hope the importance of this bug will be set too high, cause it cripples ubuntu *a lot*. I like ubuntu and I don't want to switch to another linux flavor, but bugs like this should take 2+ months to fix. it's a ps2 mouse for crying out loud ;)

If you need any help testing patches, gimme a shout.
