Ken,

Yeah, guess I did miss your point, sorry.  Since I've been using a single 
button Apple mouse I wasn't looking forward to loosing standard X support 
in GENERIC and HWDIRECT kernels.  (Yes, the Control-Option-arrow requires 
three hands and bubble gum but I'm getting pretty good at it now.)

Anyway, I like Paul Goyette's <paul@whooppee.com> suggestion even more 
where he suggested:

I'd love to see this implemented in the i386 port for the Bus Mouse too. 
Kind of makes one wonder which other options (port-dependent or 
independent) might be handled this way.
