DESCRIPTION

     The wsmouse driver is an abstraction layer for mice within the wscons(4)
     framework. It is attached to the hardware specific keyboard drivers and
     provides a character device interface. For use with X servers, ``mouse
     events'' can be generated.

     The wsmouse driver provides a number of ioctl functions to control vari-
     ous parameters. A complete list is in /usr/include/dev/wscons/wsconsio.h.
     The wsconsctl(8) utility gives access to these variables.

BUGS
