Subject: Bug in mount + Mouse question

'mount' contains a small bug. It accepts arguments like
'mount /dev/fd0//// /fd0' and if the filesystem is unmounted using
'umount /dev/fd0////' nothing goes wrong, but if another number of
backslashes are used, the entry in /etc/mtab is not removed and programs
like 'df' or 'mount' without arguments give incorrect results. By the way,
I am using linux 0.97 patchlevel 1.

But now a question with respect to mice. I own a Qtec QM-02 three button
mouse, which I can use only if I turn the switch to 2-button mode and have
the entries 'Microsoft' and 'Emulate3Buttons' in /usr/lib/X11/Xconfig.
Without the last entry and having the switch in 3-button mode, my mouse
cursor really does strange things. Any solutions ?
