 Since a few people asked me which stylus/pen I used on NetBSD, I want
 to add that this works fine with a mouse, which is what I used it
 with.  Possibly that fixing the description to specify this would be
 useful...
 
 What I used was the ruler+highlighting support over PDF documents,
 using a normal mouse, which works great.
