Feeding Google with"xorg mouse protocol serial" I found (first hit): (cite): When you choose, keep in mind the following rule of thumb: 1. "Logitech" protocol is for old serial mouse models from Logitech. Modern Logitech mice use either "MouseMan" or "Microsoft" protocol. 2. Most 2-button serial mice support the "Microsoft" protocol. 3. 3-button serial mice may work with the "Mousesystems" protocol. If it doesn't, it may work instead with the "Microsoft" protocol although the third (middle) button won't function. 3-button serial mice may also work with the "Mouseman" protocol under which the third button may function as expected. 4. 3-button serial mice may have a small switch at the bottom of the mouse to choose between ``MS'' and ``PC'', or ``2'' and ``3''. ``MS'' or ``2'' usually mean the "Microsoft" protocol. ``PC'' or ``3'' will choose the "MouseSystems" protocol. 5. If the serial mouse has a roller or a wheel, it may be compatible with the "IntelliMouse" protocol. 6. If the serial mouse has a roller or a wheel and it doesn't work with the "IntelliMouse" protocol, you have to use it as a regular 2- or 3-button serial mouse.
