Are you using moused or trying to use the mouse directly from X?

I found that I had forgotten the proper procedure for getting the wheel =
to work correctly the last time I configured a new machine.=20

If you are using moused, make sure you use the -z flag and probably have =
it look like this:

moused -t auto -p /dev/psm0 -r high -z 4

In rc.conf I have:
moused_enable=3D"YES"
moused_flags=3D"-r high -z 4"

Then, in XF86Config the only thing you have to do is make sure that you =
are using 'Auto' or 'Sysmouse' as the mouse protocol, /dev/sysmouse as =
the mouse device and have the line:

"Buttons" "5"

In that section. If you do it this way it should work.

I am not completely sure how to set up the mouse with the wheel =
bypassing moused and doing it directly with X, but I believe you just =
have to change the port and protocol (probably to 'Auto' and =
'/dev/psm0', respectively) and add:

"ZAxisMapping" "4 5"=20

To the XF86Config file.

I use the moused method, and it has usually worked for me. The only time =
I have ever had mouse wheel problems was when using a KVM switch that =
did not seem to present the mouse capabilities properly to FreeBSD =
during boot.
