sideways crolling with mouse?

[hometoast]

yes.
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Edit the section that looks like this:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
        Option      "Buttons" "5"
EndSection

and make it look more like this:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "IMPS/2"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" # or /dev/psaux
        Option      "Buttons" "7" #
left,right,middle,scrollup,scrolldn,bumpleft,bumpright
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection


if you don't have side buttons this SHOULD be all you need. if not,
imwheel and xmodmap will
fix you right up. Even though its a gentoo howto it still applies:
