Unfortunately, gpm does not support for example my rodent (thinkingmouse
protocol), at least not if I want more than two buttons to actually do
something.
If imultimouse will do the same thing directly from X, it's kinda useful.
(I'd rather have gpm support the thinkingmouse protocol, but I couldn't
figure out the portion of the X source (3.3.5 at the time) that controls
it. Neither could Mercury, the protocol used is _strange_.
