I removed it since everybody uses it with a 2-button mouse.
And nobody understand the question for a 3-button mouse.

Yeah that's quite bad, but it's real hard on a linux kernel to know which card
corresponds to each device (parsing dmesg only. Insmoding a module can provide
more than one device.
I'll try to do better.

The problem comes from DrakX adding an alias scsi_hostadapater for ppa. The
result is mkinitrd putting it in the initrd (and creating one even if not
needed). The main problem is mkinitrd not handling dependencies (so no parport
in initrd)

Taht's francois who took care of this (the upgrade stuff).
Alas he is on holidays (offline?).
I'll try something maybe...
