I agree that regarding `tap' as the fourth button action is stupid. But, I still think the serial GlidePoint should be supported too if the PS/2 GlidePoint is to be supported and if we are to make `moused' standard. Otherwise, `moused' is good only for the PS/2 GlidePoint owners, and useless for the serial GlidePoint owners... How about importing the serial GlidePoint I/O code from XFree86, but make `tap' a left button down action rather than the fourth button? Kazu
