With a relatively up-to-date FreeBSD installation, getting your mouse wheel to work is quite simple. Read more to see how it's done. This article assumes you have: * KDE 2 or greater * XFree86 3.3.2 or greater (preferably 4.1.0) * An IntelliMouse (or compatible)

First, edit your /etc/rc.conf and enable moused moused_enable="YES" Next, edit your X config in /etc/X11/XF86Config Search through until you find the mouse InputDevice section. Make it look like this: XFree86 4 --------- Section "InputDevice"  Identifier "Mouse0"  Driver "mouse"  Option "Protocol" "auto"  Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"  Option "Buttons" "5"  Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection XFree86 3 --------- Section "Pointer"  Protocol "Microsoft"  Device "/dev/mouse"  Option "Buttons" "5"  Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Now, restart your machine and your mouse wheel should just work. If it doesn't, here are some things you can try: * Add moused_flags="-r 4" to /etc/rc.conf * Try using the /dev/mouse device in XF86Config * Try using protocol "SysMouse" in XF86Config Chris
