NAME
ms -- Sun workstation mouse driver
SYNOPSIS
pseudo-device mouse
DESCRIPTION
The ms 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_EVENT is always returned. OPTIONS The mouse driver can be configured using the following kernel configura- tion 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.
