I have a Logitech Mouseman Optical Dual Sensor (highly recommended, BTW) and it works fine (wheel and all) My mouse has 6 buttons (has a little thumb button that I never use) but hopefully my config will help you sort out yours. First off, I don't use moused. Just don't see any need for it. However, I think (guessing) that you might do better without the -z option. Here is the applicable entry in XF86Config: Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "Auto" Option "Device" "/dev/psm0" Option "Buttons" "6" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" You may find that your z-axis (i.e. scroll) isn't the same numbers, try "3 4" maybe. I had to do a little guesswork to get mine working correctly at first. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
