Oops, you noticed ;-) Yes, I'm aware of these nonconfirmities.  I
don't remember everything I thought about it when I added it to the
ADB driver, but I remember I couldn't make my Logitech TrackMan send
any meaningful pattern in the additional motion bits.  So, I figured
it'd be okay to ignore them.  As for the limitation on number of
buttons, I'm not sure why I did it...

I guess it should be fixed.
