Now I've been reading up a bit about moused, sysmouse and all those FAQ etc.. "MouseSystems" seems to be the only protocol I can make to work, but it's not a clean way of doing it. "SysMouse" *is* as it's a "metadriver" idependant of what mouse/driver you use. Driver stuff is handled by moused.

MouseSystems also seems to be a driver for serial-mice and I'm using a PS/2-mouse *and* could kill off additional buttons (wheelmouse). My setup that worked for 4.0.1 *should* be correct, but doesn't work with 4.0.2. Why? 

I hardly use wheelmouse so using MouseSystems isn't really a big loss for me, *but* it annoys me terrible when something that should work doesn't! ;)
