I have also tried using `moused` and "/dev/sysmouse", in each case, everything works fine, except the mouse only has 3 buttons and no scroll. (I've tried the -z flag to moused as well) This mouse is a replacement for another wheel mouse (different brand) which worked fine. Even when I didn't have "ZAxisMapping" set up, the wheel showed up as a button in `xev`.
