Probably I wasn't clear. I am aware of how to enable BT mouse in FreeBSD, I used it for several years. I did the same for PC-BSD and it worked as expected. But now, with the same mouse on a friend's computer running (latest) PC-BSD, I do no need to do anything and it works. There is no ng_ubt loaded, yet I see /dev/ums0 and mouse works both in console and X11. The issue is that its wheel does not work. So I was confused as to how it can work out-of-box and why wheel is dead. One idea that occured to me is that BIOS recognises and emulates it (dongle + mouse), though that sounds strange. Btw, when I tried to set it up as usual (and as you wrote above), it stopped working (on that PC-BSD machine). Hm.. M.
