Enabling USB 2 button mouse copy/paste function
ee /etc/rc.conf
Add these statements rc.conf
usbd_enable="YES"
allscreens_flags="-m on" # -m enable mouse curser on
The /etc/usbd.conf file is where the USB 2 button mouse is specified
at.
ee /etc/usbd.conf
Scroll to the bottom of the file until you find this statement.
attach "/usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/${DEVNAME} -I
/var/run/moused.${DEVNAME}.pid"
You are going to change this line by adding the -m 2=3 option in
front of the -p option so it looks like this
attach "/usr/sbin/moused -m 2=3 -p /dev/${DEVNAME} -I
/var/run/moused.${DEVNAME}.pid"
Save the changed file and 'reboot' your system for your edit changes
to take effect.

I have a a Compaq USB Wireless Optical Mouse. It actually has five
buttons, but I doubt that, that matters. I would be interested in
your
setup routine.
Thanks!
