I had a problem with the mouse wheel being detected on my wireless A4Tech mouse. It is supposed to emulate a generic Intellimouse. The solution is to run moused with NO type parameter. A parameter of "auto" or "ps/2" or "microsoft" won't work. You must have a command line of: /usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/psm0 (with NO -t parameter) Unfortunately, one cannot use the automatic scripts in rc.conf to do this because they always use a parameter and fill in "microsoft" if one leaves the mouse type blank. Therefore, one must 1. disable moused in rc.conf 2. Set up a local script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d to run moused with the proper command-line.
