     This program is proprietary closed software from Toshiba. Other
notebooks manufacturers have its own software or their notebooks are not
subject of this sickness. Read:

1. you have no sources/specifications for this code.
2. this code is very harware and vendor specific.
3. this code not relates to mouse functions (mouse driver uses solely
   standard video functions of CGA/EGA/VGA and not comes down at lower level
   to chipsets; currently CTMOUSE even not uses VESA).
