RE: Linux v2.6.12-rc6 mouse wheel not working

[Steve Lee]

Here is how the mouse is detected under 2.6.11.11 and 2.6.12-rc6:

Linux-2.6.11.11

I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0006 Version=000f
N: Name="ImExPS/2 Logitech Explorer Mouse"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0
H: Handlers=mouse0 event2
B: EV=7
B: KEY=1f0000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: REL=103

Linux-2.6.12-rc6

I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0002 Version=000f
N: Name="PS2++ Logitech MX Mouse"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0
H: Handlers=mouse1 event2 
B: EV=7 
B: KEY=ff0000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 
B: REL=143 

With the patch you provided, the mouse is once again detected the same as
2.6.11.11 and it works as expected.  I guess my question at this point is,
how do I get the new code to work correctly?

Thanks,
Steve

Is there a difference in how kernel identifies your mouse? MX 1000-specific
support was introduced in 2.6.12...  

Does it help if you revert the following patch:
