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:

•: ms, Microsoft : Two button Microsoft compatible mice.

•: ms3, IntelliMouse, mman+ : Serial Intellimouse or compatible. Supports four buttons for mice like the Logitech MouseMan+.

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

•: Logitech, logi : Used in older Logitech serial mice.

•: mm, MMSeries : MM series mice.

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

•: MouseMan, mman : MouseMan protocol.

•: BusMouse, bm : Non-PS/2 busmice.

•: LinuxUSB, lnxusb : IMPS2 that doesn't choke on USB (no init attempted).

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

•: imps2, IMPS/2 : PS/2 IntelliMouse and compatible (not USB, see lnxusb for that.)

•: mmanps2, MouseManPlusPS/2 : PS/2 Logitech MouseMan+ and compatible.

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

•: Generates evPtr* events.

FILES

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