My mouse (and the wheel) works fine when plugged directly. The win2k machine on the switch works fine (as fine as windows can go anyway). But when I plug the mouse through the switch freebsd doesn't see the wheel anymore. Somehow psm decided to discard the mouse wheel data? I tried reading the data from /dev/psm0, and get nothing for the wheel when the mouse is in the switch (it shows data if it's plugged directly). So this seems to be a problem with the psm driver, not the moused or X. Well the mouse model is detected the same way (Mouse 4D+) whether or not the switch is there, so maybe the switch is translating data, but freebsd fails to probe the difference, so is there a way to force the driver to intellimouse or something? The switch is of the plainest nameless kind so I don't think it's doing something so obscure that only windows can handle it. This seems to be quite a common problem so I hope there is a solution (other than going wild on psm.c myself) Thanks Nicolas Galler
