That's because MouseMan driver for MacOS emulates those key sequence
by software. It doesn't "program" the mouse to actually send the key
codes.
Take a look at my MacBSD ftp site at
ftp://remus.rutgers.edu/pub/NetBSD/test_kernels/.
There's only one kernel (rather old one) at the moment, but there's
also a diff for adb.c, adbsys.c and adbsysasm.s for Logitech mice
support.
My TrackMan's been working perfectly as a 3-button mouse, but I'd like
to know if it works with other people's systems configured differently
from mine.
