Mike Pritchard 94a804c558 Add man page for moused(8). It is basically a rehash of the
usage output from moused, but it is a start for anyone
else who wants to expand on it.

Closed PR# 1552.

Peter Wemm a77d162973 Argh! there's no need for moused to be setuid-root! Now that it
works from startup, and works with XFree86 via /dev/sysmouse, it should
be started at boot and left running.

Peter Wemm 13379e47c1 gut and overhaul moused, it was simply not working for me on any mouse
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.

Søren Schmidt a41cbc45be Fix for the problem that moused hangs if it is started from /etc/rc
Introduces the /dev/consolectl device for controlling various
console related things (given syscons is used).

Søren Schmidt ad0c0c784f Change the way moused talk to syscons, now its only delivering mouseevents
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.

Søren Schmidt ad771aa134 Moused is the daemon that provides the connection between the cut&paste
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....
