First, I would like to tell about newer patch version: http://people.freebsd.org/~mav/patch-zz-input-mouse9 Second, I still would like to hear any comments from x11@ people about possibility to include this patch to the xf86-input-mouse port. Patch should not be invasive for existing users, as most of code it touches never worked on FreeBSD before. If with perspective of the port update you need patch for the newer driver version, I will gladly do it, it should not be difficult. Thank you. -- Alexander Motin
