I upgraded from 2.4.5-ac2 to 2.4.5-ac5 recently, and all seemed well. However, I noticed that the scrollwheel on my mouse wasn't working very well. I have that new Logitech cordless optical mouse, so my first thought was that the batteries were low, but it was late at night, and I didn't have spares, so I just dealt with it. I got new batteries, and the problem didn't go away. Booted into windows, and the scrollwheel worked fine. I then remembered seeing the HID drivers in Alan's changelog. I booted back into -ac2, and the scrollwheel worked fine. -ac5 and -ac6 both show this problem, and I assume every kernel since the HID driver update has it as well. Here's the contents of /proc/bus/usb/devices:

I have been working on a patch all day, but can not figure it out. The problem is in the new hid-core.c. See the thread "USB mouse wheel breakage" for more information.

I CC the last e-mail to the Maintainer, hopefully he can figure a solution.
