I have just realized that with 2.3.xx (since 2.3.18) the format of the
arguments for the adb_buttons=xxx kernel command-line argument has
changed.  With 2.2 you can say adb_buttons=1 to emulate buttons 2 and 3
with the right control and option keys, or you can say adb_buttons=xx,yy
to use keycodes xx and yy to emulate buttons 2 and 3.  With 2.3 you now
have to say adb_buttons=1,xx,yy.

I propose to change 2.3 back to the 2.2 behaviour since that is what is
documented.  Does anybody have any problem with that?
Well, change the documentation. I think somebody is integrating my xpmac-style
adb_buttons support and so there will be a adb_buttons=2,xx,yy soon. I think
the old syntax was a little bit strange anyway and probably was only a mistake
and no intended behaviour.
