I get this output:
  This program is designed to help you in detecting what type your
  mouse is. Please follow the instructions of this program. If you're
  bored before it is done, you can always press your 'Interrupt' key
  (usually Ctrl-C)
  
           *** Remember: don't run any software which reads the mouse device
           *** while making this test. This includes "gpm","selection", "X"
  
  Note that this program is by no means complete, and its main role is
  to detect how does the middle button work on serial mice
  /dev/atibm: No such device
  /dev/inportbm: No such device
  /dev/jbm: No such device
  /dev/logibm: No such device
  /dev/usbmouse: No such device
  
  Trying with 1200 baud

 The possible device nodes are:
        /dev/agpgart

At that point it just hangs.  The message does say it si for testing
the middle button on serial mice.
