It was recorded when pressing: > > 1- left mouse button > 2- middle mouse button > 3- right mouse button > 4- "sixth" mouse button (the thumb button) > 5- wheel up > 6- wheel down Why do you call it the "sixth" button? What are buttons 4 and 5 (and don't say wheel up/down, those aren't buttons :) I think you might need to simply change your XF86config file to read Option "YAxisMapping" "5 6" since on a standard 3-button/wheel mouse it's "4 5". I know "ZAxisMApping" is what you had, but the manpage says YAxisMapping is the one you need. Docs for the mouse driver in X are unfortunately obscured by the FreBSD mouse manpage, but you can get to them with man -M /usr/X11R6/man mouse or lynx /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/html/mouse.4.html -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
