Bug#607242: psmouse: mitigate failing-mouse symptoms

2012-10-02 Thread Jim Hill
hope someone finds it helpful. The reorg'd code kinda highlights how incomplete it is, there's lots of mouse models out there. So if it looks good or almost-good to you and there's anything else I can do, tell me and I'll be glad to do it. Thanks, Jim >From 2681957a610191cb5
