Thanks for the link!

My kernel went from 3.16 to 4.4 but still no scrolling.

also:

lsmod|grep -iE "apple|cyapa|sermouse|synap|psmouse|vsxx|bcm" 
btbcm                  16384  1 btusb
bluetooth             516096  24 bnep,btbcm,btrtl,btusb,btintel
psmouse               122880  0 


And freeciv looks a lot nicer as well :)

Maybe there are some configuration changes needing to be done for X after all.
