My mouse has a fancy wheel.Can I use it in the X Window system? Yes, the answer to this is partly related the question 2. This is also in the FAQ: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/x.html#X-AND-WHEEL > 2. Can I use copy\cut\paste text with mouse in the console? Yes, you can use the mouse daemon (moused). Just edit your /etc/rc.conf file and add the following lines: moused_enable=3D"YES" moused_port=3D"/dev/psm0" # assuming you have a ps/2 mouse moused_flags=3D"-z 4" Then configure X to use moused (sysmouse) by editing the input section with the following: Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" Option "Buttons" "5" > 4. Can I copy mouse options for X from Linux? The options should be the same. > 3. How do I copy\cut\paste text in Vim? In X you just highlight and then middle-click to paste.
