Question on PS/2 Wheelmouse through KVM
Hey all. Strange but not totally surprising behavior, anyone have any ideas? System: IBM Netfinity 4500R 1G RAM 2x 667MHz PIII CPUs Logitech Trackman Wheel PS/2 Mouse and KB through Belkin 8 port rackmount KVM Running recent 5.X current SMP kernel When I was running the mouse via USB/not through the KVM, the middle (wheel) button worked fine, as did the wheel after a bit of tweaking on moused and the X config file. Via PS2 and through the KVM, it appears there's nothing I've found yet that will enable the wheel, although the wheel 'button' itself works. Running moused in debug mode in a terminal using -z4 shows buttons numbered 'normally' 1-3 from left to right and gives corresponding output for each button being depressed...however, scrolling the wheel gives no output, which I'm assuming it should be doing for a positive or negative movement value. The same setup works fine, mouse wheel included, through the same KVM to another SMP Linux system, which has run RHAS2.1, 3.0, and now WhiteBox Linux (free 'clone' of RH3ES), without any issues, so it doesn't appear to be the KVM, although I've seen historically that BSD seems to have more than it's share of KVM input issues Any ideas on what to try next?

Add the following line to the Input Device section defining your mouse in /etc/X11/XF86Config. Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 See the FAQ at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/x.html#X-AND-WHEEL. Most of the info in FAQ only applies to classic X/Motif apps. GTK/QT apps should work fine with only ZAxisMapping added.

The command xev will show you the X events generated when clicking various buttons on the mouse. The ZAxisMapping parameters 4 5 are generally expected to be the wheel but not always.

It's actually a trackball. It has four buttons. Left, right and middle work fine. However, the Windows software provides a scroll function when a forth button is pressed in conjunction with moving the ball. I've used xev and I can generate events for left, middle and right buttons but nothing happens for the fourth button. I am actually using MouseSystems /dev/sysmouse (in conjunction with moused) as I have two mice. I can switch to just PS/2 but does anybody know how I might set up similar functionality in FreeBSD as Windows. Also, is there any way I can make my middle button double-click (but also retain other uses, when defined in applications)?
