Description-en: mouse device autodetection tool
mdetect is a tool for autoconfiguring mice; it is typically used as the
backend to some user-friendly frontend code. mdetect writes the autodetected
mouse device and protocol (as used by gpm) to standard output. It can be
invoked so as to produce output appropriate for XFree86 X server
configuration files.
