>Description:
Basically in 7.0 Release, my mouse wheel works in X11.  In 7.0-Stable, it does not.  I use a wireless usb microsoft optical mouse.  I am using the most up to date xorg-server in both environments.  I first thought it was the xorg-server because of the recent trouble there but after some discussions with Jung-uk Kim we determined it was not X's fault.  I tried all types of moused options in rc.conf but none seemed to work.  I then downgraded from 7.0-Stable to 7.0-Release, and it all worked again.  Looking at what changed from release to stable there would appear to be a change in /dev/ums so I think it is there because if I switch to the Stable kernel if fails to work again.
>How-To-Repeat:
See above
>Fix:
Figure out what was changed and how it affects usb mice.
