Xinput isn't prepared to handle these very device dependent informations very well. I have a new xf86misc extension in mind which can be used to configure device dependent parameters and retreive device dependent information from devices. Unfortunately I have been side tracked too much lately that I didn't have time to look into this. Once this extension is in place it may be used to reteive this information.

We can add something like this to the driver but we may have to add a new mouse type for the Logitech mice as these bits may code something else on another (non-Logitech) mouse or is this an 'official' extension of the Mouseman+ protocol?
