Well hi firstly make sure /etc/rc.conf does set Emulate3Buttons=3Dyes...YOu=
 didnt specify what mouse you have...Auto works fine mos t of the time. If =
you wan mouse wheel add this to XF86Config

    Identifier  "Mouse1"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "Auto"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/sysmouse"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    Option Emulate3Buttons "no"
