Hello, Freebsd-x11.

 I have touchpad which is detected as:

psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> irq 12 on atkbdc0
psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
psm0: model GlidePoint, device ID 0

 I have moused running.

 I have "new" X.org (server 1.12.4_4,1 and so on). It used "/dev/sysmouse".

  But in such case "taps" are seen as "Button 8" in X.org (checked with xev).
 And I could not change this: "xinput" change mapping, but it does nothing.
 xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 9 10" throws error. Adding "-m 1=8"
 to moused flags doesn't help too.

  I've tried to force usage of "synaptics" driver via xorg.conf, but it
 could not detect protocol (how cold I use it? Looks like GlidePoint is
 synaptics one!).

  Without moused, synaptics (on /dev/psm0) could not detect protocol too,
 but standard-hal-loaded mouse_drv.so works Ok and shows "button 1" in xev.

 But I want to use moused!
