Well, actually the button behavior is usually determined by the window
manager...but the 1st button generally starts a selection, the 3rd button
ends a selection (i.e. copies it to the X clipboard), and the middle
button pastes the selection.

I really wish I knew why it works this way....I guess that the Microspeed
support in the kernel wasn't designed around the latter settings.

I've noticed the same thing for my Logitech Ergonomic MouseMan.  Under the
MRG_ADB, it is correctly recognized as following extended mouse protocol.
Under HWDIRECT ADB, it thinks the mouse is a 1-button 2375-dpi mouse (wow!
nice resolution, eh?)  I guess that the timing is a little bit off
somewhere.  

Later.
