My mouse wheel only scrolls down. Has anyone else had that problem.
Here is the section from my XF86Config:

Section "InputDevice"
  Driver       "mouse"
  Identifier   "Mouse[1]"
  Option       "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
  Option       "EmulateWheel" "on"
  Option       "EmulateWheelButton" "4"
  Option       "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
  Option       "Name" "Autodetection"
  Option       "Protocol" "imps/2"
  Option       "Vendor" "Sysp"
EndSection
