Hi there, I've been happily using Logitech V470 bluetooth mouse with my laptop for quite a while, and everything worked fine (including mouse wheel scroll and tilt). Today I got a chance to play with this glamorous rat from Apple, and was curious how it gets along with FreeBSD. Well, it worked, but only as a pointer. Even simplest features like vertical scrolling did not work. xev(1) reported of no events coming from when I touch the stupid mouse. It looks like they are not being proxied as virtual buttons clicks, but implemented somehow differently. I've also found that in Linux, they kinda use a special driver to make it work [1]. Any clues how to investigate this issue? I probably won't be able to make use of all fancy multi-touch features of the mouse, but I'd like to at least "export" some of the common gestures, like mouse wheel scroll, as a legacy button clicks (so they can be propagated up to the X.org). I guess I could study how we ourselves handle Synaptics touchpads, but given this mouse is bluetooth, I figured I better ask here first. ./danfe [1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/AppleMagicMouse
