.Sh DESCRIPTION
+
+The Atari mouse driver supports both the original Atari mouse and the third
+party 3-button mouse that has its middle button connected to the up-switch
+of the second joystick port. To accomodate X11 users with a standard mouse,
+the driver is able to emulate the middle button. See the section on ioctls
+for more info.

+This ioctl turns the middle button emulation on or off depending on its

The Atari mouse interface works on a minimal emulation of Sun's Firm_event
structures. The primary reason for this is easy interfacing with X11.
