That depends on the joydrv module you use. There is one I wrote in the 
repo, that addresses a seriel mouse on an rs-232 pack.  It 
autoconfigures to use either an M$ compatible mouse, or a logitech. All 
3 buttons work at the point of the 10 byte packet that all the mouse & 
joystick drivers use to comunicate with gshell, grfdrv & multivue.

However, in the process of writing it, I found an off by one error in 
l51defs and fixed it.  Legacy programs may not use it correctly but if 
they've been dissed, then rebuilt with the new defs, it should work.  
But I haven't run multivue in yonks, out of "system" ram with the latest 
Nitros9, v3.3.0. My disto 2 meg kit is no help there.  A working level 3 
would be a huge step fwd...
