This serves to configure two-dimensional scrolling via software wheel emulation just like when having the Trackball wired up directly to a PS/2 port. Since many people could be happy with the effortless vertical scrolling in hardware, the default stays as it is.

Switch pin 6 of the Arduino to ground to enable reporting of button 8 instead of scroll events. On a recent Linux box with Xorg issuing

name='Arduino LLC Arduino Leonardo'
xinput --set-prop "$name" 'libinput Scroll Method Enabled' 0 0 1
xinput --set-prop "$name" 'libinput Button Scrolling Button' 8
xinput set-button-map "$name" 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 0

Gives you the original experience (the last line avoiding spurious clicks from the scroll button).

oops, sorry, this fell under my radar (need to check my notification settings...), will review it soon.
