Bug#136901: evdev mouse protocol and Emulate3Buttons are incompatible



So I found this post about it:
http://groups.google.com.au/groups?hl=en&lr=&threadm=U4nP.3v0.19%40gated-at.bofh.it&rnum=1&prev=/groups%3Fsafe%3Dimages%26as_usubject%3Devdev%2520and%2520Emulate3Buttons%26as_scoring%3Dd%26lr%3D%26num%3D100%26hl%3Den
which is 1.5 years old.

Then I found bug #136901 which is more than 3 years old.

In the mean time there must be more and more users with a mouse like my A4Tech with left, right, middle, side and extra buttons and 2 wheels.

I now run 2.6.10-ruby.vz2 multi-seat Debian Sarge which has the code to run that in xserver-xfree86 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 right in it! IsolateDevice! And I bought the mice a year ago, more? Have been looking ever since for a way to support all them buttons.

I found it!

But I tell you folks, in the Debian tradition... It ain't obvious.

This really ought to be put in a place where people with these kind of mice can easily find it, and you don't even need Emulate3Buttons... But... I never thought to try it without it...
