Since upgrading to Fedora 14 from 12, I'm seeing my

generating the *key* presses <Left> and <Right> instead of the expected
button clicks <button-6> and <button-7>.
This means that while it still works in, say, Firefox (where <Left> and
<Right> scroll the current view), and I can move my caret left and right
(!), it won't work anywhere else like it used to (e.g., directory tree views).
Any ideas how I can get the old functionality back?

I hope this thread is on-topic or at least related?
I am looking at F13 and /etc/sysconfig/mouse and
/etc/X11/xorg.conf does not exist but /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
does exist, but only one file: 00-system-setup-keyboard.conf
exist, and there is nothing related to the mouse, AFAIK?
What I am experiencing is, at least with Mozilla's Firefox
& Thunderbird, the mouse thumbwheel is behaving erratically
when scrolling past the "top" of the page or scrolling past
the "bottom" of the page (in FF & TB) and behaves as if the
next/previous buttons were pressed.
Is this related to changeover from the old xinput system
to the evdev system, as Tom Horsley mentioned in his
reply to this post?
