Support for Mouse Systems A3 protocol mice

[skinny boeceifus]

Hello,
 
Your patch is working great for me, but I did have one complication with it,
or mabey my own stupidity. I was thinking- yea I'll unplug my mac point pro
and try my old one button to see if it would work. So I did it(without
rebooting, thats where my stupor came in).. The pointer moved but I couldnt
click any thing or type anything, So I had to hard reboot **, and got to the
login screen(with the mac point pro pluged in) to find the keyboard still
wouldn't work but the mouse did, and about that time my keyboard started
smellin' like burnt board. luckily I managed to cut and paste my login and
password to log in and reboot:) to make a long story shorter, I booted to
macos, unplugged and replugged the keyboard, then rebooted. Now it works
perfectly.. I thought this was pretty weird so thats why I write this.

Thanks!
from Bob
