Apple Magic Mouse driver
NetBSD's Bluetooth hacker #1, Iain Hibbert,
wrote on tech-kern:
``I wrote a driver for the Apple Magic Mouse, as the protocol was mostly
decoded by a Linux developer, and Somebody was kind enough to send me
one. [...]
The mouse itself is a wireless Bluetooth mouse and operates with the USB
HID protocol much like other mice, but it doesn't provide a proper
descriptor and requires features to be activated and special
interpretations of the touch surface reports, so doesn't fit exactly into
our HID framework, which configures independent sub-devices to report id's
from the descriptor.
The driver interprets the touch reports to allow emulation of a middle
mouse button (for mulitple firm touches detected), and horizontal and
vertical scroll actions (for touches moving over a certain distance). It
works well on NetBSD-current and NetBSD-5 and the mouse is pretty slick.
