until a 20ms select(2) timeout occurs, but if there is a continuous
stream of movement events, button events can be delayed indefinitely
because the select never has to wait long enough for a timeout.
The delay and mouse event reordering that result are very noticable
and sometimes quite frustrating when dragging windows etc. in X.
Add a simple mechanism that avoids this re-ordering. While a button
event is deferred, we discard up to 3 movement events to allow for
mouse jitter. If more movement events occur, then we immediately
timeout the deferred button event and let the movement proceed.
This change only affects the 3-button emulation case.
Replace all in-tree uses with <sys/mouse.h> which repo-copied a few
moments ago from src/sys/i386/include/mouse.h by peter.
This is also the appropriate fix for exo-tree sources.
Put warnings in <machine/mouse.h> to discourage use.
November 15th 2000 the warnings will be converted to errors.
January 15th 2001 the <machine/mouse.h> files will be removed.
Replace all in-tree uses with necessary subset of <sys/{fb,kb,cons}io.h>.
This is also the appropriate fix for exo-tree sources.
Put warnings in <machine/console.h> to discourage use.
November 15th 2000 the warnings will be converted to errors.

- Fix the -z option which I broke in rev 1.41. It didn't work
correctly when used in conjunction with the -m option.
- Tweak the 3 button state machine so that 'Up' events of the buttons
1 and 3 are reported immediately as soon as the buttons are up.
Scroll Point, and 4D/4D+ mice.
- Add a couple of serial mouse PnP IDs.
- Extend the `-z' option so that the second wheel (or the horizontal
movement of the `scroll' device) can be mapped to buttons.
This mouse may be a OEM version of Genius EasyScroll Mouse.
(The mouse has three buttons on top, one side button and a wheel which
also acts as a button. However, I know no way to activate the wheel,
and it can only be used as an ordinary 3-buttons mouse :-)
machine. The three-button emulation of moused has been somewhat
difficult to use for many people. I hope this update fixes it.
- Add a new option, -E, to set timeout value to detect two buttons
are pressed down simulteneously. The default value for this timeout
is 200msec.

mode' button. Mouse movement will be treated as wheel movement while
this button is held down. Useful for mice with many buttons but
without a wheel.

- it has longer timeout as per the PnP COM Device Specificaiton 1.0,
- and it tries to obtain the PnP ID string by strictly following the
specification and if it fails, by deploying slightly simplified
steps. (moused has used the simplified method because early PnP mice
do not exactly follow the specification. But now, recent mice
do not supply the ID string unless the strict procedure is used...)
Jointly developed by luigi and yokota.
