MS Intellimouse and XFree86

[Reid Linnemann]

Okay, so here's the skinny:

I have a 3-button mouse with Z axis (wheel) that behaves as a PS/2 intellimouse.

Running moused -f -p /dev/psm0 shows Z axis events reported when I use the wheel.

However, in X using /dev/sysmouse as the mouse device, no Z axis events make it
through. This is confirmed by running xev(8) and spinning the mousewheel in the
window. No events are printed.

This seems to me as an error in either the sysmouse driver or in the XFree86
mouse handling of the sysmouse driver, I really can only make wild guesses.. but
those seem to me to be reasonable. Does anyone have any thoughts?
