The `moused' daemon is made to support various serial mouse
protocols to recognized extra buttons and wheel/roller. It now has
PnP COM device support code, thus, some recent mouse products are
automatically detected and an appropriate protocol is selected.
The `-i' option will print the result of auto-detection.
- Added support for the following SERIAL mice:
ALPS GlidePoint, MS IntelliMouse, Kensington Thinking Mouse
(Genius NetMouse, NetMouse Pro, ASCII MieMouse, Logitech MouseMan+,
FirstMouse+ are compatible with MS IntelliMouse, when connected
to a serial port, thus requires no explicit support)
- Added PnP serial mouse identification capability as defined
by Microsoft and Hayes in "Plug and Play External COM Device
Specification, rev 1.00". This support will enable us to identify
the correct protocol to use, or choose a compatible protocol for the
given mouse.
- Utilize new ioctls defined in `mouse.h' to get hardware and protocol
information on PS/2 and bus mouse devices. Try to guess the correct
protocol and port combination based on the obtained info.
- Use MOUSE_SETLEVEL ioctl.
- Use constants defined in `mouse.h' rather than using own definitions.
- A New command line option. The -i option prints the information
collected though the PnP code and psm/mse ioctls mentioned above,
and just quits. This is to test `moused's ability, or inability, to
detect the correct protocol for the given mouse automatically.
- A new command line option. The -m option maps a physical button
to a logical button.
- A new command line option. The -z option maps the Z axis movement to
another axis or a pair of buttons.
- Add other options: -3, -C -F -P.
- Added a handler for SIGHUP. This has been suggested by somebody in the
past (I don't remember who). He wanted this because he wants to attach
or detach a mouse while his laptop is suspended. Now `moused' will
reopens and reinitialize the specified port whenever a SIGHUP is
received. I don't know how useful this can be...

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||
The mouse daemon
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
and the console driver work together to support
|
||||
mouse operation in the text console and user programs.
|
||||
They virtualize the mouse and provide user programs with mouse data
|
||||
in the standard format
|
||||
.Pq see Xr sysmouse 4 .
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The mouse daemon listens to the specified port for mouse data,
|
||||
interprets and then passes it via ioctls to the console driver.
|
||||
The mouse daemon
|
||||
reports translation movement, button press/release
|
||||
events and movement of the roller or the wheel if available.
|
||||
The roller/wheel movement is reported as ``Z'' axis movement.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The console driver will display the mouse pointer on the screen
|
||||
and provide cut and paste functions if the mouse pointer is enabled
|
||||
in the virtual console via
|
||||
.Xr vidcontrol 4 .
|
||||
If
|
||||
.Xr sysmouse 4
|
||||
is opened by the user program, the console driver also passes the mouse
|
||||
data to the device so that the user program will see it.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
If the mouse daemon receives the signal
|
||||
.Dv SIGHUP ,
|
||||
it will reopen the mouse port and reinitializes itself. Useful if
|
||||
the mouse is attached/detached while the system is suspended.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The following options are available:
|
||||
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
||||
.It Fl 3
|
||||
Emulate the third (middle) button for 2-button mice. It is emulated
|
||||
by pressing the left and right physical buttons simultaneously.
|
||||
.It Fl C Ar threshold
|
||||
Set double click speed as the maximum interval in msec between button clicks.
|
||||
Without this option, the default value of 500 msec will be assumed.
|
||||
This option will have effect only on the cut and paste operations
|
||||
in the text mode console. The user program which is reading mouse data
|
||||
via
|
||||
.Xr sysmouse 4
|
||||
won't be affected.
|
||||
.It Fl D
|
||||
Lower DTR on the serial port.
|
||||
Lower DTR on the serial port.
|
||||
This option is valid only if
|
||||
.Ar mousesystems
|
||||
is selected as the protocol type.
|
||||
The DTR line may need to be dropped for a 3-button mouse
|
||||
to operate in the
|
||||
.Ar mousesystems
|
||||
mode.
|
||||
.It Fl F Ar rate
|
||||
Set the report rate (reports/sec) of the device if supported.
|
||||
.It Fl P
|
||||
Do not start the Plug and Play COM device enumeration procedure
|
||||
when identifying the serial mouse.
|
||||
If this option is given together with the
|
||||
.Fl i
|
||||
option, the
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
command won't be able to print userful information for the serial mouse.
|
||||
.It Fl R
|
||||
Lower RTS on the serial port.
|
||||
This option is valid only if
|
||||
.Ar mousesystems
|
||||
is selected as the protocol type by the
|
||||
.Fl t
|
||||
option below. It is often used with the
|
||||
.Fl D
|
||||
option above. Both RTS and DTR lines may need to be dropped for
|
||||
a 3-button mouse to operate in the
|
||||
.Ar mousesystems
|
||||
mode.
|
||||
.It Fl S Ar baudrate
|
||||
Select the baudrate for the serial port (1200 to 9600).
|
||||
Not all serial mice support this option.
|
||||
.It Fl c
|
||||
Enable ChordMiddle option.
|
||||
Some mice report middle button down events
|
||||
as if the left and right buttons are pressed. This option handles this.
|
||||
.It Fl d
|
||||
Enable debugging messages.
|
||||
.It Fl f
|
||||
Do not become a daemon and instead run as a foreground process.

|

.Ss Configureing Mouse Daemon
|
||||
The first thing you need to know is the interface type
|
||||
of the mouse you are going to use.
|
||||
It can be determined by looking at the connector of the mouse.
|
||||
The serial mouse has a D-Sub female 9- or 25-pin connector.
|
||||
The bus and InPort mice have either a D-Sub male 9-pin connector
|
||||
or a round DIN 9-pin connector.
|
||||
The PS/2 mouse is equipped with a small, round DIN 6-pin connector.
|
||||
Some mice come with adapters with which the connector can
|
||||
be converted to another. If you are to use such an adapter,
|
||||
remember the connector at the very end of the mouse/adapter pair is
|
||||
what matters.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The next thing to decide is a port to use for the given interface.
|
||||
For the bus, InPort and PS/2 mice, there is little choice:
|
||||
the bus and InPort mice always use
|
||||
.Pa /dev/mse0,
|
||||
and the PS/2 mouse is always at
|
||||
.Pa /dev/psm0.
|
||||
There may be more than one serial port to which the serial
|
||||
mouse can be attached. Many people often assign the first, built-in
|
||||
serial port
|
||||
.Pa /dev/cuaa0
|
||||
to the mouse.
|
||||
You may want to create a symbolic link
|
||||
.Pa /dev/mouse
|
||||
pointing to the real port to which the mouse is connected, so that you
|
||||
can easily distinguish which is your ``mouse'' port later.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The next step is to guess the appropriate protocol type for the mouse.
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
command may be able to automatically determine the protocol type.
|
||||
Run the
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
command with the
|
||||
.Fl i
|
||||
option and see what it says. If the command can identify
|
||||
the protocol type, no further investigation is necessary on your part.
|
||||
You may start the daemon without explicitly specifying a protocol type
|
||||
.Pq see Sx EXAMPLE .
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The command may print
|
||||
.Ar sysmouse
|
||||
if the mouse driver supports this protocol type.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
Note that the
|
||||
.Dv type
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Dv model
|
||||
printed by the
|
||||
.Fl i
|
||||
option do not necessarily match the product name of the pointing device
|
||||
in question, but they may give the name of the device with which it is
|
||||
compatible.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
If the
|
||||
.Fl i
|
||||
option yields nothing, you need to specify a protocol type to the
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
command by the
|
||||
.Fl t
|
||||
option. You have to make a guess and try.
|
||||
There is rule of thumb:
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Bl -tag -compact -width 1.X
|
||||
.It 1.
|
||||
The bus and InPort mice always use
|
||||
.Ar busmouse
|
||||
protocol regardless of the brand of the mouse.
|
||||
.It 2.
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Ar ps/2
|
||||
protocol should always be specified for the PS/2 mouse
|
||||
regardless of the brand of the mouse.
|
||||
.It 3.
|
||||
Most 2-button serial mice support the
|
||||
.Ar microsoft
|
||||
protocol.
|
||||
.It 4.
|
||||
3-button serial mice may work with the
|
||||
.Ar mousesystems
|
||||
protocol. If it doesn't, it may work with the
|
||||
.Ar microsoft
|
||||
protocol although
|
||||
the third (middle) button won't function.
|
||||
3-button serial mice may also work with the
|
||||
.Ar mouseman
|
||||
protocol under which the third button may function as expected.
|
||||
.It 5.
|
||||
3-button serial mice may have a small switch to choose between ``MS''
|
||||
and ``PC'', or ``2'' and ``3''.
|
||||
``MS'' or ``2'' usually mean the
|
||||
.Ar microsoft
|
||||
protocol.
|
||||
``PC'' or ``3'' will choose the
|
||||
.Ar mousesystems
|
||||
protocol.
|
||||
.It 6.
|
||||
If the mouse has a roller or a wheel, it may be compatible with the
|
||||
.Ar intellimouse
|
||||
protocol.
|
||||
.El
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
To test if the selected protocol type is correct for the given mouse,
|
||||
enable the mouse pointer in the current virtual console,
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Dl vidcontrol -m on
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
start the mouse daemon in the foreground mode,
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Dl moused -f -p Ar _selected_port_ -t Ar _selected_protocol_
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
and see if the mouse pointer travels correctly
|
||||
according to the mouse movement. Then try cur & paste features by
|
||||
clicking the left, right and middle buttons. Type ^C to stop
|
||||
the command.
|
||||
.Ss Multiple Mice
|
||||
As many instances of the mouse daemon as the number of mice attached to
|
||||
the system may be run simultaneously; one
|
||||
instance for each mouse.
|
||||
This is useful if the user wants to use the built-in PS/2 pointing device
|
||||
of a laptop computer while on the road, but wants to use a serial
|
||||
mouse when s/he attaches the system to the docking station in the office.
|
||||
Run two mouse daemons and tell the application program
|
||||
.Pq such as the X Window System
|
||||
to use
|
||||
.Xr sysmouse ,
|
||||
then the application program will always see mouse data from either mice.
|
||||
When the serial mouse is not attached, the corresponding mouse daemon
|
||||
won't detect any movement or button state change and the application
|
||||
program will only see mouse data coming from the daemon for the
|
||||
PS/2 mouse. In contrast when both mice are attached and both of them
|
||||
are moved at the same time in this configuration,
|
||||
the mouse pointer will travel across the screen just as if movement of
|
||||
the mice is combined all together.

button 3 (logical right).

This will effectively swap the left and right buttons.

.Pp
|
||||
Many pad devices behave as if the first (left) button were pressed if
|
||||
the user `taps' the surface of the pad.
|
||||
In contrast, some ALPS GlidePoint pad models treat the tapping action
|
||||
as fourth button events. Use the option ``-m 1=4'' for these models
|
||||
to obtain the same effect as the other pad devices.

.Sh STANDARD
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
command partially supports ``Plag and Play External COM Device Specification''
|
||||
in order to support PnP serial mice.
|
||||
However, due to various degrees of conformance to the specification by
|
||||
existing serial mice, it does not strictly follow the version 1.0 of the
|
||||
standard. Even with this less strict approach,
|
||||
it may not always determine an appropriate protocol type
|
||||
for the given serial mouse.
