Once it's working, you can fool around with moused(8) and its axes and the mouse section settings in the X configuration (i.e. perhaps setting "Buttons" to "5"). It doesn't fix the underlying issues, but generally, it is very possible to get mouse wheels working with PS/2. -- Brian Fundakowski Feldman \'[ FreeBSD ]''''''''''\ <> green@FreeBSD.org \ The Power to Serve! \ Opinions expressed are my own. \,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,\
