input-linux-mouse(7)
NAME
input-linux-mouse - Direct mouse input
SYNOPSIS
input-linux-mouse: [<mousetype>] [,<file>] [,[b<bauds>][r<rts>][d<dtr>]]
DESCRIPTION
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:
- o ms, Microsoft : Two button Microsoft compatible mice.
- o ms3, IntelliMouse, mman+ : Serial Intellimouse or compati
ble. Supports four buttons for mice like the Logitech MouseMan+.
- o MouseSystems, msc : MouseSystems compatible (used in most
3-button mice).
- o Logitech, logi : Used in older Logitech serial mice.
- o mm, MMSeries : MM series mice.
- o Sun : Sun mice. The protocol is the same as 'msc' protocol
except it used only 3 bytes per packet.
- o MouseMan, mman : MouseMan protocol.
- o BusMouse, bm : Non-PS/2 busmice.
- o LinuxUSB, lnxusb : IMPS2 that doesn't choke on USB (no init
attempted).
- o ps2, PS/2 : PS/2 mice (most non-serial mice use this proto
col)
- o imps2, IMPS/2 : PS/2 IntelliMouse and compatible (not USB,
see lnxusb for that.)
- o mmanps2, MouseManPlusPS/2 : PS/2 Logitech MouseMan+ and com
patible.
- Most of the strings supported by GPM, SVGAlib and XFree can be specified. If you find one that isn't, please report.
- 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.
- baud Baud rate of mouse device.
- rts Turns off RTS if set to 0; turns RTS on if set to a number
- greater than 0.
- dtr Turns off DTR if set to 0; turns DTR on if set to a number
- greater than 0.
FEATURES
o 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.
