On my Mac OS X system (10.9.1), the SDL_MOUSEWHEEL event reports negative X values when my trackpad scrolls to the right, and positive X values when my trackpad scrolls to the left. This is backwards from what I'd expect, and I don't think it matches the Windows wheel events.
The vertical scroll values are what I'd expect though, and are consistent what gets reported on Windows (positive Y for scrolling up, negative Y for scrolling down.)
This is with "scroll direction: natural" disabled in the OS X trackpad settings (i.e. my scroll direction in non-SDL OS X programs matches what happens in Windows and Linux.)
I also tested with the horizontal scroll on a real mouse (Logitech G500 without custom drivers), and the horizontal scroll values in SDL are still flipped.
I "solved" the issue for myself by changing this line in the Cocoa_HandleMouseWheel function:
float x = [event deltaX];
to this:
float x = -[event deltaX];
I believe it should work fine with that change - I found something similar in another codebase while looking online for my issue - but I haven't tested on anything below Mac OS 10.8.

The state bitmask in SDL_MouseMotionEvent is stored in an Uint8. Unfortunately this doesn't actually have room for 8 buttons because SDL skips 4 button indices after the third mouse button (at least here on Linux x86-64, probably related to wheel handling?), so it's really just enough to track 4 buttons. For example, on a Logitech MX310 mouse I've got, even though the mouse has 6 buttons total, the left and right side buttons and extra middle button have indexes 8, 9 and 10, and the last two won't fit in the 8 bit button state.
The source of the button state (in SDL_Mouse) is already 32-bit, and the state field in SDL_MouseMotionEvent is 32-bit aligned and followed by three 8-bit padding fields. So simply changing the SDL_MouseMotionEvent state to an Uint32 and removing the padding fields fixes this, and I think it should be binary compatible, at least for little endian.
- add mappings after init (or even before w/o using the hint)
- get string for axis
- get string for button
- get mapping string for controller or for GUID
- new event to notify when a controller is remapped. (e.g. mapping was changed via the AddMapping method)
* Normalized touch coordinates as floats in the 0...1 range
* Removed unused touchpad concepts from the API
* Added API functions to get active touch devices and current finger state

The attached simple patch adds a timestamp to all SDL events. It is useful to
dismiss old events and add UI responsiveness (my application does some
extensive tasks that creates a delay in the event queue handling. With this
patch, I can deal only with the most recent events.
