mouse is scrolling in the wrong direction [SOLVED]

I recently installed Arch linux, and I love it! But one thing is bothering me, my mouses (a synaptic touchpad and a simple logitech usb mouse) scroll in the wrong direction. When I scroll downwards its scrollig to the right and when I scroll up it goes to the left. Also if I scroll right or left, it goes up or down.  It's the most stupid thing I've ever had!
Can anyone give me a suggestion?

Xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "X.org Configured"
        Screen      0  "aticonfig-Screen[0]" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
        InputDevice    "Touchpad" "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection

Re: mouse is scrolling in the wrong direction [SOLVED]

Rotate all of your buttons and give it a shot:

For example here is mine:

    Option         "Buttons" "9"
    Option         "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    Option         "YAxisMappting" "6 7"
    Option         "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9"

leftclick = 1
middle click = 2
rightclick = 3
wheelup = 4
wheeldown = 5
wheelleft = 6
wheelright = 7
leftalt = 8
rightalt = 9

Change yours to something like:

    Option         "Buttons" "7"
    Option         "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
    Option         "YAxisMappting" "4 5"
    Option         "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7 4 5 8 9"

leftclick = 1
middle click = 2
rightclick = 3
wheelup = 6
wheeldown = 7
wheelleft = 4
wheelright = 5

You might be able to get it to work by simply swapping your Z and Y axis:

    Option         "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
    Option         "YAxisMappting" "4 5"
