mouse quirk

[Roger Peppe rog@ohm.york.ac.uk]

a small problem with our (serial) mouse. it works fine
except the middle button doesn't work; the right button sometimes
acts as the middle button, and sometimes as itself (opening
/dev/mouse sometimes switches it from one to the other - bizarre...)

is this likely to be because of an unknown mouse type (aux/mouse doesn't
complain) or something more arcane ? (the same problem occurs with two mice
of the same sort)

on an unrelated note, what's the status of the CDA tools with respect to
the current release - are they available under a separate license ?

  thanks,
    rog.
