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. Kazu
