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