I see...

IMHO, the XaAES convention is better: 0=no moose wheel support in the AES,  
1=the AES extends some functions with mouse wheel data.

appl_getinfo should give informations regarding the AES (is the AES  
support this or this feature?). appl_getinfo is not the right place to get  
information about the device itself.

If an application wants to know if the mouse has 0, 1, 2 or more wheels,  
and 1,2,3... bouttons, then the application have to ask this to the mouse  
driver.

So, i would vote for keeping the XaAES convention (out3=1 because XaAES  
support mouse wheel in its functions).

Any comment ?

best regards,
Arnaud.
