Ray explained the details but, IMHO you should try using IMPS/2 with x for a
wheel mouse, presuming the Benq (what ever that is) is a 3 button mouse, then
try the following in your XF86Config(-4) file.
Section "InputDevice"
# Identifier and driver
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Corepointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "off"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
The syntax is for XFree 4.x
If all esle fails goto;
www.xfree86.org
