When it's in raw mode for use by the synaptics X driver, if course, it's
expected that those things are to be done by that driver.

...but you are right, doing it in /dev/input/mice emulation layer
makes some sense. OTOH I thought we were moving away from
/dev/input/mice... Its Dmitry's call I guess.

Heh, yes, it is. No hurry anyway, I finally got synaptics working
properly in X ...

Why would we move away from the mouse mux ? It's proven to be very
useful to me at least :)

It is very limited - number of buttons, wheels, etc. Once X supports
hotplugging mouse multipexor outgrows its usefullness (GPM can simply
be restarted every time we detect new input device).
