I have never seen a time when a wheel mouse is automagically fully functional with X on FreeBSD. AFIK, these xorg.conf options have always been necessary to enable the z axis. -- Reid Linnemann Senior Systems Analyst Oklahoma Department of CareerTech 405-743-5422 rlinn@okcareertech.org -Ars longa, vita brevis-
