I'm putting together some patches that include out-of-the box support for
most 3 btn mice, PowerBook trackball (and backlight for G3 Series) and a
couple of other things. It's not ready yet, but I'm also including the
MacX patches via a config option (disabled by default since it hacks too
much the normal ADB behaviour and is not currently compatible with
non-MacX mice).

However, I don't have any of those mice. If someone with a MacX mouse
could send it to me for a couple of days, this would allow me to make
sure it works 100% (I would like to test some stuffs to improve the
behaviour of the patch but I cannot without a mouse).

So anyone with a MacX compatible mouse willing to send it to Paris for
some days ?
