[ltp] Mouse Wheel Emulation

Hi,

In fact, this is the case. On the other hand i don't want to unmerge it, 
since I use it for my keyboard and now every of the little special keys 
works perfectly.

It's not an xorg.conf thing, actually the x-server 1.4.0.90 ignores 
xorg.conf and relies on hal to be informed about the devices...

So, I know how to configure hal, the remaining question is, whether it 
is possible to get scrolling with evdev driver, or not...

thanks
Thomas
