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?
