Sure, there is absolutely no mystery here.

Actually, the Eiffel mouse wheel can generate either status frames (like 
ARAnyM) or special keystrokes (as my Eiffel).
See again Didier's page in the "Mouse elements" table:
http://didierm.pagesperso-orange.fr/eiffel-e.htm

First, be sure you have the keyclick turned on otherwise you will never 
hear anything ;-)

Of course, status frames never generate keyclicks. But when Eiffel is 
configured to send special keystrokes, we hear the keyclick.
Maybe the best solution would be to configure Eiffel to send status 
frames ;-)

Anyway, the middle button always produce a special keystroke, so I guess 
it produces a keyclick for you as well.

We have to answer the following question:
Does FreeMiNT/fVDI/XaAES want to support the Eiffel wheel and middle 
mouse button in special key mode ? If yes, that should be done cleanly. 
If not, the existing partial support should be removed.
