Give me a day or so to check all this out.  I don't think
looking at the X behavior is too useful: too many place that
the direction can be swapped.  Instead, look which way the
bits coming directly out of evdev point.  IIRC I set things
up so that positive X was the same as on other evdev
devices.  Is the supplied X config swapping the X axis with
this line?

One possible source of confusion is that Iceweasel scrolls
backward by default (on all devices, not just MM).  You can
fix this by changing a setting in the Iceweasel config.
