Yes, really. See:

[root@stefan stefan]# lsmod | grep "hid" ; echo ----------- ; ls -l

crw-r--r-- 1 root root 13, 32 Jan 1 1970 mouse0
<----------------------------/>
And meanwhile I changed the XF86Config-4 to use /dev/input/mice.
I really wonder what's going on, because in the source code for mousedev
I cannot find anything which would not permit 4 buttons. But X itself
only sees 3 buttons. Is this maybe a problem of the recognition of the
USB receiver? I also know someone else whose 7-button Mouse is only
recognized as 5-button.
Couldn't we just join our forces to eventually write a event input
driver for X? I know that there is already one for USB Keyboards!
Thanks,
Stefan
