NAME¶
mouse_init, mouse_init_return_fd - specifically initialize a mouse
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <vgamouse.h>
int mouse_init(char *dev, int type, int
samplerate);
int mouse_init_return_fd(char *dev, int type, int
samplerate);
DESCRIPTION¶
These routines can be used to open the mouse manually, ignoring the mouse types
or devices specified in the config file.
dev is the name of the mouse device (defaults to
/dev_mouse).
samplerate may be one
MOUSE_DEFAULTSAMPLERATE(150) or any other
value. Probably it is in Hz.
type is one of the types which are listed already in
vga_getmousetype(3).
If these routines are used it is not necessary to call
vga_setmousesupport(3), but it's probably better to not use these and
use
vga_setmousesupport(3) instead.
The
return_fd version returns the file descriptor of the mouse device to
allow you to do further tricks with the mouse (but the filehandle may change
during a VC switch). The other version just returns 0 if successful. Both
return -1 on error.
