I was a little premature. It's true that I can force the keyboard and 
mosue to connect by running

hidd --search

But after some period of (presumably idle) time, they disconnect. I have 
to manually toggle the on switch on each, and rerun the hidd --search, 
from some other keyboard.

The hidd daemon is always running, but it takes a "hidd -search" to 
trigger the connect.

Am I missing something?

As far as button 2, 3 is there an approach that doesn't involve patching 
the kernel? I like taking auto updates from the distro supplier (Suse 
right now), and hate having to rebuild from source all the time.

I thought I could just use xmodmap to map one of the useless keyboard 
keys to a mouse button, but I see now it really only lets you remap keys 
and buttons separately. Is there an xorg.conf trick?
