You are correct, it should be '-z 6 7'. Funny how I missed that. However, while it corrects the moused error that I was receiving, it does not correct the wheel problem.

I did notice in one KDE application, that the wheel was causing the screen to move horizontally, instead of vertically. That was when there was a visible horizontal scroll bar present. Perhaps the mouse has it axis's inverted. If so, how would I correct that problem. I have tried Google, but came up empty.
