This mouse has been supported since XFree86 3.3.
However, support in 3.3.2 is slightly different;
the wheel movement is recognized as the Z axis motion.
This behavior is not compatible with XFree86
3.3, but is more consistent with the support for other mice with
wheels or rollers.
If you want to make the wheel behave like before,
you can use the new option "ZAxisMapping" as described above.
IntelliMouse supports the PnP COM device specification.

These mice have a "magic button" which is used like a wheel or a roller. The "magic button" action is recognized as the Z axis motion. NetMouse Pro is identical to NetMouse except that it has the third button on the left hand side.
NetMouse and NetMouse Pro support the PnP COM device specification. When used as a serial mouse, they are compatible with MS IntelliMouse.

The serial version of this pad device has been supported since XFree86 3.2. `Tapping' action is interpreted as the fourth button press. (IMHO, the fourth button of GlidePoint should always be mapped to the first button in order to make this pad behave like the other pad products.)
