- I have a Logitech Mouseman (the ergonomic type with left and
- right-handed versions) connected to a serial port. Works just fine.
- I think this is because the default is Microsoft mouse mode. Thus,
- only the left and right buttons work. The middle does nothing.
- (Actually, the middle might work as if the left and right are pressed,
- but I haven't tried that.)
-
- Now if I could just trade my right-handed version for a left-handed
- version! Anybody want to swap?
