 >Description:
 Trying to get a Labtech optical ps/2 [and usb] wheel mouse working under X11 I failed to get z-axis movement on the ps/2-port (usb worked fine).
 Finally I found the solution: adding option -l 1 to moused
 (/usr/sbin/moused -z 4 -d /dev/psm0 -t ps/2 -l 1)
 Thus, having a working configuration, I added the following lines to rc.conf:
 moused_port="/dev/psm0"
 moused_type="ps/2"
 moused_flags="-z 4 -l 1"
 and again the mouse did not work!!!
 next I changed
 moused_flags="-z 4"
 moused_type="ps/2 - l 1"
 and everything is OK now.
 
 Looking at moused.c you find line 709 where rodent.level is assigned, 
 no matter which value was set before...
 
 
 >How-To-Repeat:
 See above.
 >Fix:
 Workaround: Add the level-option to the moused_type option.
 
 Check if level was set before modifying rodent.level in moused.c line 709
 
 Maybe change the default-level of operation for psm0 to 1 which seems reasonable...
