How can I adjust the mouse scroll wheel sensitivity?

I just replaced my old Logitech mouse with a Microsoft Wireless Laser mouse, and the scrolling is too fast for my liking.

How can I adjust the scroll sensitivity?

Update:

I just updated to 10.04, but still don't see anything. Any changes?


Solution 1:

I can't take credit for this, I read it somewhere else. I am running Mint 13, Cinnamon. If you are using MS Wireless:

  • Boot System
  • Log in
  • Unplug mouse receiver from USB port
  • Plug receiver back in
  • Voila

Mouse Wheel scrolling set to reasonable speed.

Solution 2:

Try resetmsmice, which will fix this problem, without having to unplug and replug the mouse receiver. Many thanks to the author Paul F Richards, also the Ubuntu launchpad bug report
