12 Try running xev (merging it if necessary) from a terminal window, and
13 compare the event output when you roll the USB mouse wheel against that
14 when you roll the bluetooth mouse wheel. You'll probably get different
15 button events, and will need to map them to scroll wheel events
16 accordingly, in xorg.conf. This can get a bit complex and isn't amd64
17 specific, so if you have problems figuring it all out, I'd suggest posting
18 to the desktop list. The X experts, both Gentoo users and devs, can be
19 found there and will likely be more familiar with the specifics.
