Hello Brave and Mighty Men of Linux,

Is anyone working on supporting the Microsoft-specific beasts with the
little button in between which does the scrolling in Microsoft-specific
attempts to write an OS? I thought it could be made to work like a third
button provided the protocol is open and available.

I am not suggesting at all to write the native kernel and XFree support for it
(nothing from Microsoft will deserve that, until the day they repent and do
what they were created to do - write good GUI applications for Linux), but
merely an emulation of standard 2-button PS/2 /dev/psaux.

Regards,
