I've installed the imwheel port. I have this in XF86Config: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "SysMouse" Option "Emulate3Buttons" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" Option "Buttons" "5" EndSection and this in /etc/rc.conf: moused_enable="YES" moused_flags="-z 4" and this in ~/.xinitrc: /usr/X11R6/bin/imwheel See the FAQ: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/x.html#X-AND-WHEEL -- Thanks, Charles http://howse.homeunix.net:8080 Random Murphy's Law: Nobody notices when things go right.
