The CMM is configured and working (two-button functionality) in moused, and mostly working in X as a sysmouse. The part that doesn't work in X is the scroll wheel (although the wheen button does work). These are the InputDevice entry bits, which, according to documentation, should result in the scroll wheel working: Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" Option "Protocol" "MouseSystems" Option "Buttons" "5" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" ---- The WIME does not work at all. I've tried setting it up as a sysmouse, but I get no functionality at all. Under X, configured to use the sysmouse pseudo-device, I get no functionality. With X configured to use the device directly (with moused disabled, of course), I get no functionality. X will fail to start, claiming an initialization error, if I make the WIME the CorePointer. There are the InputDevice entry bits for the WIME, which, according to documentation, should work for a USB mouse: Option "Device" "/dev/ums0" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Buttons" "7" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" In Linux, you can reportedly get this mouse to work by using the imps/2 protocol. Unfortunately, that protocol isn't included in the FreeBSD version of XF86 v4.2.1, as the kernel is supposed to have all the support required to get these mice to work.
