[sigh] I myself have had the same problem when got uptated both OS and X. I also for a long time have had "-z 5" option for moused. But I'd always thought that it was a workaround, not a solution. Hence after upgrade I noticed lines at Xorg.0.log: ----- (**) Mouse0: ZAxisMapping: buttons 4, 5, 6 and 7 (**) Mouse0: Buttons: 11 ----- Note: I have a two button and a wheel MS USB-mouse. That gave me a suspection of conflict between moused autodetect mechanism and manual option. After deletting the latter I got a functional mouse-and-wheel. I think that enhancing both moused and rcNG scripts caused the matter. And now I thonh that ir is a real solution but not a workaround which had existed for years. BTW, Eric, you wrote a good HOWTO. > Thanks to Boris B. Samorodov (X11 port maintainer) for really solving this. Actually, I'm not a maintainer of x11 port. ;-) I'd had the same problem you faced with and tried to help you. WBR -- Boris B.
