Hi again,

I should have paid more attention.  The message "unknown mouse
type" really means that: when I switched the mouse into to Microsoft
mode it worked properly.  However, every single 3 button mouse with
a Logitech/MS switch ignores the middle button in MS mode.  I know
the MS protocol supports a 3rd button, but it seems that all the
mouse hardware assumes that the software will break with it enabled.

Has someone implemented a mouse driver which supports the more
common 3 button mouse protocol?

Thanks,
	J
