this button is held down. Useful for mice with many buttons but
without a wheel.

- it has longer timeout as per the PnP COM Device Specificaiton 1.0,
- and it tries to obtain the PnP ID string by strictly following the
specification and if it fails, by deploying slightly simplified
steps. (moused has used the simplified method because early PnP mice
do not exactly follow the specification. But now, recent mice
do not supply the ID string unless the strict procedure is used...)
Jointly developed by luigi and yokota.

The patch supports using the X10 Mouse Remote in both stand-alone and
pass-through configurations, so you can plug your mouse and remote into the
same serial port, use the mouse for X, and use the remote for other apps
like Fxtv. For instance, we can now control fxtv via the remote control
just like a TV : change channels, mute, increase volume, zoom video,
freeze frame 8)
The mouse events are channeled through the syscons/sysmouse I/F like
normal, and the remote buttons are "syphoned off" to a UNIX-domain stream
socket (defined as _PATH_MOUSEREMOTE in <machine/mouse.h>) for a
remote-aware app to grab and use.

Based on the report from Dave Bodenstab.
- Turn off PnP COM device enumeration procedure if the user explicitly
specifies a protocol type with the "-t" option.
- Accept "-t auto". Now the user may entirely omit the "-t" option
in the command line, or specify "-t auto" in order to make moused
detect an appropriate protocol type automatically. In the
previous version, moused did so only if the "-t" option is absent
in the command line. ("-t auto" won't disable PnP COM device
enumeration.)
- Updated the man page.
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...
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
works from startup, and works with XFree86 via /dev/sysmouse, it should
be started at boot and left running.

I could find. This change does the following:
- s/usage()/break;/ in handling the -s switch.
- use err/warn instead of fprintf(stderr, ... strerror()); exit(1);
- implement Hitachi PUMA HitTablet support from the XFree86 code,
whatever the hell that is. :-)
- correctly implement baud rate setting, too much was cut from the
XFree86 code, the critical parts were a sweep over all likely
mouse powerup baud rates to switch it to the reqested rate.
- logitech support was busted (at least on mine, which is autosensing
and runs in either mmseries or logitech mode depending on the handshake
code at startup. Among other things, you talk to it at 1200, then
switch to the target baud later.
Some remaining problems.. samplerate setting is missing, but I've not
found where this is meant to be set yet. I presume this is resolution
setting of some kind.
via an ioctl (MOUSE_ACTION).
Fixed a couple of bugs (destructive cursor, uncut, jitter).
Now applications can use the mouse via the MOUSE_MODE ioctl, its
possible to have a signal sent on mouseevents, makeing an event loop
in the application take over mouseevents.
functionality in syscons and the real mouse hardware. If moused is
run one can switch on/off the mousepointer with vidcontrol -m on/off.
There is no manpage yet, but a fairly descriptive usage message....
