Greetings.
This is a weird issue I've been trying to fix, and ultimately downgrading to xorg-1.14.
I am running Arch Linux 64-bit, running with the nvidia propritary drivers (tried 331.20, 331.38, 334.16-beta).
The issue I am having is when I play games that run on Valve's GoldSrc engine (for example Counter-Strike 1.6), with vertical-sync OFF, my mouse's wheel stops working correctly. Both wheelup/wheeldown will respond as "thumb buttons".
For a while I thought it was an issue with the latest nvidia drivers (331.38), or the game. But yesterday I tried downgrading xorg to 1.14, and the issue vanished.
I'm looking to find out why this happens, and what changed from 1.14 to 1.15 that could be causing this. And possibly a way to fix it too :)
Thanks
Jason
