umsX character device returns a read error. Update devd.conf rules
to use "DEVFS" events which are generated after that the umsX
character device node has been created/destroyed, and then there
should be no need for moused to wait up to 10 seconds for umsX to
be ready. Opening umsX should not fail except if the kernel is low
on memory. In that case the user can replug the USB mouse or use
"usbconfig" to reset the device. In case of USB mouse devices,
moused should neither retry to open its character device,
once the first read error has happened. This is an indication
of device detach.

difficult. Add a -L option (yet another option, indeed!) which changes the
speed of scrolling and change -U to only affect the scroll threshold.
This should make middle-clicking a much more pleasant experience.

when linear acceleration (-a) was enabled with a <1 value to slow them down.
Previously, rounding errors would eat small movements so the mouse had to be
moved a certain distance to get any movement at all. We now calculate the
rounding errors and take them into account when reporting movement.

sequence when machine is started without attached USB mouse. Only do
repeated attempts to re-open device if the usb module has been actually
loaded. Also fix broken logic in doing delays between open attempts - do
delays between attempts, not after each attempt.
Due to previous behaviour being very annoying for notebook owners this
is a good 5.2 MFC candidate.

two-second pauses in between, to allow time for USB controllers and

at least half of that ten-second allowance to get ready.

because it looks like the division is used to restore a

This fixes a problem where wheel-up movement is taken as wheel-down
in the sysmouse protocol.
Do not assume the plain char's are signed; use `signed char' where
char's need to be signed.

with variable numbers of arguments made this slightly harder than
it should be. Avoid the bug by not doing string concatenation within
the macros, and instead add a new function to syslog or print the
error messages.
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.

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.
