Hi, I have a brand new Microsoft optical wheel mouse with a 'tilt wheel'. It works as a 3-button mouse under X with: Option "Protocol" "PS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/psm0" but the wheel doesn't work (i.e. doesn't even show up in `xev`) The X documentation: [ http://www.xfree86.org/current/mouse6.html ] seems to suggest that I use either IMPS/2 or ExplorerPS/2, but both of these fail with "Protocol not supported". Does FreeBSD support "PS/2 mouse initialization" (which the above link says is required for these protocols)? Is there a kernel module I need to enable this? Any help would be much appreciated. Rich
