could you please be more specific what exactly works and what does not?

your configuration seems to be correct. so, i would expect that x, y
and vertical scroll/wheel should work. horizontal scroll (AC_Pan) is
not currently decoded by bthidd(8). while it is very easy to add it,
mouse_info structure has no place to put the value in :( so,
basically, bthidd(8) is limited by what sysmouse(4) can understand.

thanks,
