>From my understanding of this module, it is meant to simulate 2 and 3 mouse
buttons on a 1 buttom apple mouse. So this module isn't needed in order for the
mouse to work, just that it's a little crippled (blame Jobs for that one).

I've traced the Kconfig for drivers/macintosh/ and it seems that this module
ultimately depends on ADB, which is an old obsolete mouse port on Macintoshes.
So I don't think this module will work a USB mouse anyway. Fact is that the
Kconfig does not allow it as an option on PPC64, which is probably becuase there
is no such thing as ADB on PPC64's.

I'm considering this a non-bug, since the requested module is not supported by
upstream in the current config, and even if it was, I don't think it would
resolve your issue anyway.
