Good call on using that to view what wsmouse is spitting out.  After using
od -c /dev/wsmouse from the console, it spits back a bunch of output which I
can't decipher as I mess with the touchpad.

The interesting thing is that when I physically depress a button, I get a
single line of output, and when I release the button I get another line of
output (Both output lines are printed "instantly" with the physical
depressing / release of the button).  Thus, it would seem that wscons is
behaving somewhat correctly in that when I push the button down, it does
spit an event at whatever's attached to it, rather than waiting for the
button to be released before spitting both events back, as xev would have me
believe.

Does this mean XFree86 is fscked up somehow?
