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...

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

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...

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 `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.
