marble mouse side scrolling not working [solved]

I'm trying to get my Logitech Marble Mouse, which I adore, to work with the new evdev xorg driver. I put this in my /etc/hal/fdi/policy folder and restarted xorg and hal, but going side to side doesn't work. The only reason why I use a trackball is for that universal scrolling feature. Is firefox doing this?

<deviceinfo version="0.2">
  <device>
    <match key="info.product" string="Logitech USB Trackball">
      <merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheel" type="string">true</merge>
      <merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheelTimeout" type="string">200</merge>
      <merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheelButton" type="string">8</merge>
      <merge key="input.x11_options.YAxisMapping" type="string">4 5</merge>
      <merge key="input.x11_options.Emulate3Buttons" type="string">true</merge>
    </match>
  </device>
</deviceinfo>

Edit: I added this line to the .fdi file, right above the y axis line:

<merge key="input.x11_options.XAxisMapping" type="string">6 7</merge>
