I was running a Fedora 20 VM on my computer and everything was working great right out of the box except the scroll wheel on my mouse. xev was not registering the event, xinput test also did not register the scroll wheel. The rest of the mouse worked just fine. After trying to write a program for class all day in the VM, I finally had enough and decided to fix the problem. Google returned almost nothing useful other then xev and xinput test. The scroll worked just fine in windows, just not in the VM. I have ran plenty of vm's before with no problems I was baffled. I finally realized what the problem was. I was using WizMouse in windows. WizMouse is a nice little program that lets you scroll where ever your pointer is, not where the focus is. Its great for navigating save windows or scrolling through a web page while still typing in another window. Anyway, after killing that the scrolling worked just fine in the VM.
