>Description:
When using a Microsoft Natural Wireless Mouse 6000 (the one with the funny 
look), the wheel does not work in X, moused not tested.

In my xorg.conf, I tell X to explicitly use wsmouse as protocol and 
/dev/wsmouse (/dev/wsmouse0 tried, too) as the device.

Looking at that with xev, there are no actions when using the mouse wheel.
When clicking any button, there are always several events, with every button 
there are several times key 7.
With the left button, there is also key 5, with the right one key 4.

Thus, e.g. clicking at the desktop in Fluxbox is like scrolling the wheel and 
results in changing the desktop (standard-config).

With my Logitech MX510, there are no problems with the same system and the same 
X-session.
>How-To-Repeat:
Connect a Microsoft Natural Wireless Mouse 6000 to a NetBSD, launch xev and 
look at the actions.
