optical mice

[Zoran Kolic]

   Dear FreeBSD!
   Hope that my little problem will
not make annoyance to the list.

   I finaly found out that my old, has
to be replaced, mouse Logitech
M-S48a OEM had a chinese chip
and did not working wheel using
freeBSD. I had try changing Xconf,
using imwheel... On the internet
I found a tip, that this type was not
working on this OS.

   In a store in my neighborhood I
could buy M-S48a without "OEM",
or more expensive model M-BE58.
Some folks use fine optical Logitech
mice...

   Question? I could live without a wheel,
I could live without freeBSD, or without
computer at all. But, it's a matter of honor
to have wheel working in surrounding
windows community. Does someone
have experience with optical mice? Does
it work? Kernel has usb module for mouse,
know that. Oh, almost to forget! Release 5_0.

   Best regards
