Nope.  I reproduced these same settings _exactly_, and
they produce the same results.

With your settings above, the scroll wheel works fine,
and the two thumb buttons each cause the web page to
scroll very slightly downward.  This is the same thing
they did with all the other different configurations I
tried.

Why is using mouse thumb buttons under FreeBSD _rocket
science_ ?  Why is this a _hard problem_ ?
