Sun workstation mouse driver
SYNOPSIS
pseudo-device mouse
DESCRIPTION
Thems driver provides an interface to the workstation
console mouse. This Mouse Systems three-button device produces five-byte blobs
of the form:
b dx dy dx dy
where “b” is the button state, encoded as
0x80|(~buttons) -- there are three buttons (4=left,
2=middle, 1=right) -- and “dx” and “dy” are X
and Y delta values, none of which are in the range
[0x80..0x87].
The device special file /dev/mouse is used to get direct access to the mouse input stream. The following ioctl's are supported (mostly just enough to keep the Xorg(1) server going):
VUIDSFORMAT- Set translation mode. The argument is of type int *,
the only value supported is
VUID_FIRM_EVENT. VUIDGFORMAT- Get translation mode. The argument is of type int *.
VUID_FIRM_EVENTis always returned.
OPTIONS
The mouse driver can be configured using the following kernel configuration file options.
options SUN_MS_BPS=integer- This option causes the kernel to communicate with the mouse using the serial baud rate integer. It is useful for mice which do not communicate at 1200 baud.
