Ic, I could map Z-axis to 6+7 when I used it with the PS/2 adaptor but not on 
8+9.

cale:~# moused -f -d -p /dev/ums0 -t intellimouse -I /var/run/moused.ums0
moused: mouse type mismatch (mousesystems != intellimouse), mousesystems is 
assumed
moused: proto params: f8 80 00 00 5 00 ff
moused: port: /dev/ums0  interface: usb  type: mousesystems  model: generic
moused: unable to get status of mouse fd: Inappropriate ioctl for device

cale:~# moused -f -d -p /dev/ums0 -t auto -I /var/run/moused.ums0
moused: proto params: f8 80 00 00 8 00 ff
moused: port: /dev/ums0  interface: usb  type: sysmouse  model: generic
ums0: Microsoft Microsoft IntelliMouse® Explorer, rev 2.00/4.19, addr 4, 
iclass 3/1
ums0: 5 buttons


When I change to my old Explorer Intellimouse here's what kernel says:

ums0: at uhub2 port 2 (addr 4) disconnected
ums0: detached
ums0: Microsoft Microsoft IntelliMouse® Explorer, rev 1.10/1.14, addr 4, 
iclass 3/1
ums0: 5 buttons and Z dir.

Anyway, I have to return this mouse today. The optical unit is really the best 
I've ever seen, but that new 4-way scroll wheel is a joke. Scrolling doesn't 
work if the mouse is moving. I ferified that under Windows too. When somebody 
turns the scroll wheel the mouse alwas is moved a little bit which results in 
scroll interrupts and really feels strange.

Save your money and avoid IntelliMouse Explorer Platinum!
