Scroll wheel only works partially

Im using KDE 3.4.1/ xorg 6.8.2 and the scroll wheel on my mouse (logitech mx510) only partially works. The only program where the scroll wheels works perfectly is FireFox in all other programs scrolling downwards works. Try to scroll upwards in any other program have various effects.

* In Konqueror scrolling upwards if the pointer is over a link or a file, it opens the link or runs the assosiated program for that file type. If the pointer is not hoving over a link/file nothing happens when I scroll upwards.
* In Opera scrolling upwards has the effect (if multiple tabs are open) that it switches between tabs.
* This list could go on for every single program I have.... X(

Any help would be nice


This is the mouse configuration I have in my xorg.conf

SOLVED:
Changed Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" to Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 9 10"

Start xev from a Konsole window and check which buttons it reports when you scroll up and down.

Then use those for ZAxisMapping
