BTW, before adding more workarounds here it would be worth reading:

	http://www.usb.org/developers/devclass_docs/HID1_11.pdf

I don't know if this is true, but I suspect the main problem is
that we are simply ignoring the information in the report descriptor
that says how to interpret the data coming from the mouse. Can
somebody check if this is the case, or if these mice really need
special case workarounds?
