Not sure if that means anything. That probably doesn't mean anything. The firmware can choose to handle the mouse in any way it wants, but the interface actually provided to the boot loader through EFI is more limited. The UEFI spec mentions x, y and z axis for a pointing device and recommends using z-axis for scrolling, but I don't know if the mouse wheel would be used as a z-axis, or just button 4 and 5 (which uefi doesn't do, only left and right). -- Len Sorensen
