The tilting works for me but only on Firefox. I remember doing
something for those too in xorg.conf for earlier editions of Fedora. I
think its the ZaxisMapping option discussed in the link I provided in
my previous post and another option called ButtonMapping that I had
used. The Gentoo wiki used to have extensive info on all this before
their database corruption. If you can find any archives for that, you
might be able to find them again.
