Mouse scroll wheel is in a direction opposite to Windows

Question

I am using both Windows 7 and Ubuntu Oneiric. The direction of mouse wheel scrolling is opposite for Windows and Oneiric. For example, for Oneiric, I need to roll the wheel up to scroll down a page. How can this be reset? I believe this is not the default setting.

Solution

Yes, the problem is now solved. I used the tip suggested in the following link: http://maketecheasier.com/reverse-mouse-scrolling-direction-in-ubuntu/:

I created a file called ~/.Xmodmap with the following contents:

pointer = 1 2 3 5 4 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

I also tried using the naturalscrolling application, but I have been unable to get it to work so far. So maybe after all, @tiempjuuh's suggestion could also possibly work.
