This is to announce the third test release of the set of patch files
for 3.0-CURRENT, 2.2-STABLE and 2.2.5-RELEASE to modify device drivers
(psm, mse), `moused' and `sysmouse (syscons)' to take advantage of new
features (such as a wheel) of recent mouse products.

It will add support for the following mice:

Microsoft IntelliMouse (serial, PS/2, 3 buttons, wheel)
Kensignton ThinkingMouse (serial, PS/2,4 buttons)
ALPS GlidePoint (serial, PS/2,3 buttons)
Genius NetScroll (PS/2,4 buttons, wheel)
Genius NetMouse (serial, PS/2, 2 buttons, magic button)
ASCII MieMouse (serial, PS/2, 3 buttons, wheel)

(Recent Logitech products, MouseMan+ and FirstMouse+ with a wheel, are
not supported yet, as I haven't put my hands on them. If you own one
and could help me to develop drivers, I would be very happy.)

I have placed the patch files and documentation in

	ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/mouse971113.tar.gz

I also included the patch for XFree86 3.30/3.31.

Installation procedure and details of modifications are described in
NOTES in the tar file.  Please read included man pages too.

I would be grateful if you could kindly try it and send me some
comments.
