Bug Description

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/926917

I can confirm this issue remains with Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS.

Mouse is a Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 5000 v1.0

Running xev confirms mouse wheel tilt right and left (buttons 6,7) are being remapped to mouse wheel scroll up and down (buttons 4,5).

John Littleton, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.

As per https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8B75V/HelpDesk_Download/ an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (1608). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette .

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New. Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.
