 In contrast, some ALPS GlidePoint pad models treat the tapping action 
 as fourth button events. Use the option ``-m 1=4'' for these models

+Cut and paste functions in the virtual console assume that there
+are three buttons on the mouse.
+The logical button 1 (logical left) selects a region of text in the
+console and copies it to the cut buffer.
+The logical button 3 (logical right) extends the selected region.
+The logical button 2 (logical middle) pastes the selected text 
+at the text cursor position.
+If the mouse has only two buttons, the middle, `paste' button 
+is not available.
+To obtain the paste function, use the

+option to emulate the middle button, or use the
+.Fl m
+option to assign the physical right button to the logical middle button:
