Also as far as my os is concerned there is no USB mouse attached to the workstation. We are using different versions of FreeBSD :) By editing /etc/rc.conf and adding this line at the end: moused_enable="NO" , and then rebooting, keeps my moused from starting. I suppose I could have done #killall -9 moused *and* edited /etc/rc.conf with no immediate reboot. When I appended the line to /boot/device.hints, I rebooted for that too. This box is a workstation with one user, me, so uptime is not a issue. As far as the order of the steps, please see the original email. I did start X last after doing everything in the original email, as the mouse did not work at all until all steps were complete. >> Option "Buttons" "5" >> Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" >> >>Setting those two options does not enable the scroll wheel.

A level 1 driver would make the scroll wheel work. When I boot with a level 1 driver, my mouse is completly dead in X. It is beyond my skills and desire, to code a custom driver :) >>I am not sure if the following info matters or not: >> >>This is included as it may give you some hints for fixing the wheel >>feature.
