Overview

This input opens a file (usually a device file or pipe) and reads mouse protocol data from it.

Options

mousetype

Indicates what type of mouse is attached. The following types are supported:

ms: Two button Microsoft compatible mice.

ms3

mman: Serial Intellimouse or compatible. Supports four buttons for mice like the Logitech MouseMan+.

msc: MouseSystems compatible (used in most 3-button mice).

logi: Used in older Logitech serial mice.

mm: MM series mice.

sun: Sun mice. The protocol is the same as 'msc' protocol except it used only 3 bytes per packet.

mman: MouseMan protocol.

bm: Non-PS/2 busmice.

ps2: PS/2 mice (most non-serial mice use this protocol)

imps2: PS/2 IntelliMouse and compatible.

mmanps2: PS/2 Logitech MouseMan+ and compatible.

Most of the strings supported by GPM, SVGAlib and XFree can be specified.

The special value auto tells input-linux-mouse to read ~/.ggi/input/linux-mouse, and if that fails, $sysconfdir/ggi/input/linux-mouse. If none of the two files are found, input-linux-mouse tries to auto-detect the mouse, and as a last resort uses the mouse information specified in /etc/vga/libvga.config.

`file`	The file to read mouse protocol data from; defaults to /dev/mouse.
`bbaud`	Baud rate of mouse device
`rrts`	Turns off RTS if set to 0; turns RTS on if set to a number greater than 0.
`rdtr`	Turns off DTR if set to 0; turns DTR on if set to a number greater than 0.

Features

Generates evPtr* events.

Files

~/.ggi/input/linux-mouse and $sysconfdir/ggi/input/linux-mouse consists of the following entries:

mouse mousetype
mdev file

where mousetype and file has the same semantics as the invocation options of the same names.
