Bluetooth mouse wheel issues

English Hardware
#1

Hello,
for a few weeks now i had issues with the mouse wheel of my Dell Bluetooth Travel Mouse. From time to time the wheel suddenly starts flipping direction or has dropouts.
This occurs on two openSuse 11.3 systems with different bluetooth adapters. Reconnecting the mouse doesn’t help.
I could not reproduce this under WinXP.
A USB mouse works fine, though.

The bluetooth shouldn’t matter here. Are the batteries fully loaded? Besides that you may want to check what mouse type is detected in Linux

How that?
I checked in yast and it looks plausible:
