I had a problem with the mouse wheel being detected on my wireless
A4Tech mouse. It is supposed to emulate a generic Intellimouse.
The solution is to run moused with NO type parameter. A parameter of
"auto" or "ps/2" or "microsoft" won't work. You must have a command line of:
/usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/psm0
(with NO -t parameter)
Unfortunately, one cannot use the automatic scripts in rc.conf to do
this because they always use a parameter and fill in "microsoft" if one
leaves the mouse type blank.
Therefore, one must
1. disable moused in rc.conf
2. Set up a local script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d to run moused with the
proper command-line.
