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.
