I'll answer my own email on this point, as I got it actually working. With 'xev' I figured out that it is mouse button 8 and 9 that reflect the mouse wheel events. In /etc/X11/xorg.conf, I added in the mouse section: Option "Buttons" "5" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" In /etc/rc.conf, I added: moused_flags="-z 4" I restarted the moused daemon and X11. Then with the 'xmodmap -pp' I figured out that my mouse is listed with 11 buttons. To make the wheel work, I had to swap "4 5" with "8 9" as follows: xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 8 9 6 7 4 5 10 11" and to make this effective every time I login, I added this line in $HOME/.xsession That's all for the mouse wheel to get working, at least for me. I hope it may help others. Don't know yet how to get the special keys on my wireless keyboard working. Regards, Rob. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
