Hmm, I allready sent you a "technology demo" of the mouse stuff
half a year ago or something, forgot ?? :) :)
The mouse stuff (ie pointer drawing etc) is allready in syscons,
and work in all text modes. What needs to be done is that we
design/implement a generic mouse interface, so that programs doesn't
have to know about devices and different mouse protocols...
That last part will also help the graphics library....
