Subject:   moused and "Appoint" 3-button mouse

I'm running FreeBSD-current 3.0.

Ok, I give up.  Help!

- I've got an "Appoint" 3-button mouse.

- All three buttons worked fine under X as a "microsoft" mouse.
  (Although it was a bit jumpy/flakey at times.  At least copy-n-paste
  worked.)

- I added moused_port="/dev/cuaa0" and moused_type="microsoft" to
  rc.conf.local

- According to the directions I've pointed X to /dev/sysmouse and
  called it a MouseSystems mouse.

The problem is that my middle button is ignored and I can't
copy-n-paste with it.  On the other hand, on the vt console screens
I can copy-n-paste fine with the 3rd button.

What do I do?

I see some code in the moused source that is trying to work around
some sort of LogiTech button problem ... but I can't figure out how
to apply the information to my situation.
