I've had my mousewheel running under XOrg, these are the following lines I
put in the two following files
rc.conf:
moused_enable="YES"
moused_type="auto"
moused_flags="-z 4"
xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
Option "Buttons" "5"
EndSection
I just used the instructions on the FreeBSD faq here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/x.html#X-AND-WHEEL
and just used the examples for XFree86 4.x in my xorg.conf file
