Targus mice misuse the normal PS/2 protocol so that they can sneak through
command-filtering PS/2 ports (like on my Digital HiNote 2000). Basically they
output very strange but valid traffic when the wheel is moved. Anyway, this
is Linux, and I'd rather force people to turn it on explicitly rather than
take the risk of breaking some valid PS/2 device which might theoretically
output the same stuff.
