 I've also got a Logitech (a wireless optical model),
 which I'm actually rather impressed with.

 I haven't noticed myself accidently pushing the scroll
 wheel to side; but ...
  the horizontal scrolling doesn't actually do anything
 on my system, which I've always put down to the age
 (I've been running SUSE 9.1 for c.2½ years).

 it's a (recent) replacement for an el cheapo ball mouse,
 so the system wasn't installed with it present.  AFAICR,
 I didn't have to do/configure anything to get the normal
 functionality to work; it just worked.

cheers!
