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.
