[SOLVED]how to reverse the scroll direction on my trackpoint?

Question

I have a trackpoint on my thinkpad. For various reasons I have had to set it up again today and used this in xorg.conf:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Trackpoint Wheel Emulation"
MatchProduct "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint|DualPoint Stick|Synaptics Inc.$
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Option "EmulateWheel" "true"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7"
Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
It works fine except for one thing: pulling down on the trackpoint while scrolling causes it to scroll up. I would rather it scrolled down to follow my downwards movement. Does anyone know how I can reverse it?
Edit: Found out the problem. Apparently, Unity likes to fiddle with this setting...

Answer 1

Nevermind, got my Google-fu on and the package was xorg-xev.  It recognized when I moved the knob.
Here's the volume raise code:
KeyPress event, serial 38, synthetic NO, window 0x1600001,
root 0xc6, subw 0x0, time 8056414, (56,97), root:(540,575),
state 0x0, keycode 123 (keysym 0x1008ff13, XF86AudioRaiseVolume), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
And the volume lower:
KeyRelease event, serial 38, synthetic NO, window 0x1600001,
root 0xc6, subw 0x0, time 8054284, (56,97), root:(540,575),
state 0x0, keycode 122 (keysym 0x1008ff11, XF86AudioLowerVolume), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
