26 As I recall, the fix for this problem is a sys-adm/lomoco.
27
28 Logitech mice actually produce those double events... lomoco allows you
29 tell the mouse to stop. I've got a udev rule for it, I think lomoco put
30 it there, but I've had logitech MX mice for years and lomoco is a fork
31 of a fork and may no longer contain the udev script.

33 You also might look into imwheel from the Mandrake distrabution as it
34 contains patches to deal with more than 10 buttons.
