I wish it were that simple, but... it does use the HID. And it detects x/y/z 
axes and 7 buttons (the mouse has two buttons and a wheel). There seems to be 
no info relevant to the Z axis in the 6 bytes that the debugging info prints.  
When I move the wheel, it looks just the same as before.

The mouse is spec'd to work with standard mouse drivers, so I wouldn't think 
that there would be any magic going on, but I suppose it's possible that it 
plays to the quirks of another mouse. Maybe FreeBSD supports those quirks, but 
if it does, it does so by vendor/device id. I'm probably asking, more than 
anything else, if anyone is familiar with quirks that produce similar problems 
to those that I'm having.
