And this is why I prefer that the server just be named /dev/mouse. Rather
than have a boundless number of names for the mouse (Logitech/Microsoft/
Mouse Systems/..., one- two- and three-button, bus and serial, ...) it'd be
nice if the mouse server just presented a uniform /dev/mouse and then did
what was necessary to make it fly. For instance, synthesizing a third
button if it's missing.
