Mouse wheel click won't paste: GeForce 9100, HP Optical Mouse

When I run /usr/bin/xinput --test 11' where 11 is the USB Optical Mouse id=11 shown from /usr/bin/xinput --list’, I get no input from clicking the mouse wheel. This recently changed and I don’t know why. Does anybody else have this problem? Know how to fix it?

openSUSE 12.1 (x86_64)

By physically rapping the mouse sideways on the desk a few times, it started working again. Duh!

Haha, thanks, mate! I had the same problem and tried EVERYTHING!
Your solution finally worked!
