Well, without doing anything, you should be able to see some activity from the "up" button: in my case, it worked by default as a middle button, while the "down" button did nothing but showed up in xev, for example. Basically, left=1, up=2 right=3 ,down=4. What I really wanted was for "up" to mean up, "down" to mean down, and I was happy to emulate "middle" with simultaneous left-right as before. The following does it for me: I run moused with the options -m 5=4 -m 4=2 -a 0.5 (the -a is because this driver scales the speed up a bit too much for my liking). And in my XF86Config I have Option "Emulate3Buttons" Option "Buttons" "5" I *don't* have the Option "ZAxisMapping "4 5" which the howto's for wheel mice will tell you to insert -- seems it's there by default. And if I insert it, curiously, it stops working... - Rahul To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
