A tool for determining mouse type and device it's attached to.

Usage

gpm-mouse-test [device ...]

Overview

This experimental and incomplete application tries to help in detecting which protocol does your mouse speak. It is able to detect MouseMan devices, and to choose between `-t ms' (three-buttons aware) and `-t bare' old two-buttons-only serial mice.
