  Modified files:
    usr.sbin/moused      moused.8 moused.c 
  Log:
  The `moused' daemon is made to support various serial mouse
  protocols to recognized extra buttons and wheel/roller. It now has
  PnP COM device support code, thus, some recent mouse products are
  automatically detected and an appropriate protocol is selected.
  The `-i' option will print the result of auto-detection.
  
  - Added support for the following SERIAL mice:
        ALPS GlidePoint, MS IntelliMouse, Kensington Thinking Mouse
    (Genius NetMouse, NetMouse Pro, ASCII MieMouse, Logitech MouseMan+,
    FirstMouse+ are compatible with MS IntelliMouse, when connected
    to a serial port, thus requires no explicit support)
  - Added PnP serial mouse identification capability as defined
    by Microsoft and Hayes in "Plug and Play External COM Device
    Specification, rev 1.00".  This support will enable us to identify
    the correct protocol to use, or choose a compatible protocol for the
    given mouse.
  - Utilize new ioctls defined in `mouse.h' to get hardware and protocol
    information on PS/2 and bus mouse devices.  Try to guess the correct
    protocol and port combination based on the obtained info.
  - Use MOUSE_SETLEVEL ioctl.
  - Use constants defined in `mouse.h' rather than using own definitions.
  - A New command line option.  The -i option prints the information
    collected though the PnP code and psm/mse ioctls mentioned above,
    and just quits.  This is to test `moused's ability, or inability, to
    detect the correct protocol for the given mouse automatically.
  - A new command line option.  The -m option maps a physical button
    to a logical button.
  - A new command line option.  The -z option maps the Z axis movement to
    another axis or a pair of buttons.
  - Add other options: -3, -C -F -P.
  - Added a handler for SIGHUP.  This has been suggested by somebody in the
    past (I don't remember who).  He wanted this because he wants to attach
    or detach a mouse while his laptop is suspended.  Now `moused' will
    reopens and reinitialize the specified port whenever a SIGHUP is
    received.  I don't know how useful this can be...
