We finally have the silly mouse talking to freebsd. After a lot of
searching, one of our techs found that there's a button under the mouse
that must be pushed simultaneously with the button on the receive.
*sigh*
Anyway, following through the handbook and a couple of messages here,
I'm trying to get the wheel working. So far, once I roll down, future
rolling up scrolls down in some programs (but it did that to start
with!).
I have two buttons, a wheeel, and the wheel button.
I've added
moused_flags="-z 5"
to /etc/rc.conf (for just wheel it said 4)
And edited the mouse section of /etc/X11/XF86Config to
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
Option "Buttons" "6"
#Option "Emulate3Buttons"
#Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "5 6"
EndSection
I've also installed imwheel, which is running. But still no wheel.
Whatever I'm missing has to be simple. ANy hints?
thanks
hawk
