Logitech Marble Mouse On Ubuntu 9.04

[I have a feeling this no longer works in 9.10, but I'm not sure yet]

Upgrading to Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope (9.04) disabled the scrollwheel effect on my Logitech Marble Mouse USB, so I set out to find a cure. Here it is. Add the following file, "/etc/hal/fdi/policy/mouse-wheel.fdi" (perhaps any title would do... I picked that one at random) consisting of the following text, then reboot. Of course, the formatting is hideous below, and all the line feeds need to be removed, but I can't figure out how to show this code snippet without formatting except in a textarea! (damn)
