If you have a PS/2 mouse, look at your /etc/X11/XF86Config file, and make sure your mouse driver is has a Protocol of "auto" and the device is "/dev/sysmouse" or equivalent. You also might want to try to kill the moused process and set the mouse device to "dev/psm0". Although I don't have any problem using moused, I've heard other people report problems. Finally, XFree86-4.0.1 won't support your mousewheel. This is fixed in the new XFree86-4.0.2 (not yet in the ports). Here's my InputDevice section from XF86Config: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" Option "Buttons" "3" Option "Emulate3Buttons" EndSection -- Christopher Farley Northern Brewer / 1150 Grand Avenue / St. Paul, MN 55105 www.northernbrewer.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
