Fixed, there's no way I can test it well enough for anything more widespread.

I don't care much either way, though I think I'm missing the point of subbing
in a memset -- only reason I can think of is efficiency which doesn't make
sense to me here.  Ask and I'll add one or both.

I did de-jargonize the names some,  "interval_start" for "base" makes it
clearer which as you say it could use.

I encountered one other person with this problem and he ran it for a long while
and was happy to have it.  I'm appending the latest version, which is a good
bit improved and what I've been running for the last year amended with the name
and default-filter changes above.

But of course I upgraded a month ago to a box with no PS/2 mouse port, so at
this point all I can do is hope someone finds it helpful.  The reorg'd code 
kinda highlights how incomplete it is, there's lots of mouse models out there.

So if it looks good or almost-good to you and there's anything else I can do,
tell me and I'll be glad to do it.

Thanks,
Jim
