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.

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides support for the PS/2 mouse style pointing device.
|
|
|
|
Note that
|
|
.Nm port \&"IO_KBD\&"
|
|
and
|
|
.Nm conflicts
|
|
is required
|
|
as the PS/2 mouse port is located
|
|
at the auxially port of the keyboard controller, thus, the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver has to share the port with the keyboard driver.
|
|
Note also that there is currently no provision of changing the
|
|
.Nm irq
|
|
number.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A series of data packets is read from the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver. A data packet from the PS/2 mouse style pointing device
|
|
is three bytes long:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Byte_1
|
|
.It Byte 1
|
|
.Bl -tag -width bit_7
|
|
.It bit 7
|
|
One indicates overflow in the vertical movement count.
|
|
.It bit 6
|
|
One indicates overflow in the horizontal movement count.
|
|
.It bit 5
|
|
Set if the vertical movement count is negative.
|
|
.It bit 4
|
|
Set if the horizontal movement count is negative.
|
|
.It bit 3
|
|
Always one?.
|
|
.It bit 2
|
|
Middle button status; set if pressed. For the device without the middle
|
|
button, this bit is always one?.
|
|
.It bit 1
|
|
Right button status; set if pressed.
|
|
.It bit 0
|
|
Left button status; set if pressed.
|
|
.El
|
|
.It Byte 2
|
|
Horizontal movement count in two's compliment;
|
|
-128 through 127.
|
|
.It Byte 3
|
|
Vertical movement count in two's compliment;
|
|
-128 through 127.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The minor device number of the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is made up of:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
minor = (`unit' << 1) | `non-blocking'
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
where `unit' is the device number (usually 0) and the `non-blocking' bit
|
|
is set to indicate "don't block waiting for mouse input, return immediately".
|
|
The `non-blocking' bit should be set for \fIXFree86\fP,
|
|
therefore the minor device number usually used for \fIXFree86\fP is 1.
|
|
.Sh KERNEL CONFIGURATION
|
|
There are following options to control the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
device.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width MOUSE
|
|
.\".It Em PSM_NOCHECKSYNC
|
|
.\"By default, the driver tries to detect the first byte of
|
|
.\"the three-byte-long data packet. However, this may not always be
|
|
.\"reliable. This feature will be turned off by specifying this option.
|
|
.\".It Em PSM_NOEMULATION
|
|
.\"The
|
|
.\".Nm
|
|
.\"driver can emulate the Microsoft Serial Mouse's three-byte
|
|
.\"data packet and the Mouse Systems Corp's five-byte data packet
|
|
.\"when data is read by user programs, if so specified by the
|
|
.\".Fn ioctl
|
|
.\"command
|
|
.\".Dv MOUSE_SETMODE .
|
|
.\"The emulation will be disabled with this option.
|
|
.\".It Em PSM_ACCEL=N
|
|
.\"The
|
|
.\".Nm
|
|
.\"driver somewhat `accelerates' the movement of the pointing device.
|
|
.\"That is, the faster you move the device, the longer the pointer
|
|
.\"travels on the screen. This option controls the amount of acceleration.
|
|
.\"The smaller
|
|
.\".Fa N
|
|
.\"is, more sensitive the movement becomes. The default value is 2.
|
|
.\"The minimum value, thus the value for the most sensitive setting, allowed
|
|
.\"is 1. Setting this option to zero will completely disables the
|
|
.\"acceleration effect.
|
|
.It Em PSM_RESETDELAY=X, PSM_MAXWAIT=Y
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver will attempt to reset the pointing device during the boot process.
|
|
It sometimes takes a long while before the device will respond after
|
|
reset. These options control how long the driver should wait before
|
|
it eventually gives up waiting. The driver will wait
|
|
.Fa X
|
|
*
|
|
.Fa Y
|
|
msecs at most. If the driver seems unable to detect your pointing
|
|
device, you may want to increase these values. The default values are
|
|
200 msec for
|
|
.Fa X
|
|
and 5
|
|
for
|
|
.Fa Y .
|
|
.It Em PSM_DEBUG=N
|
|
Sets the debug level to
|
|
.Fa N .
|
|
The default debug level is zero. See
|
|
.Em DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
for debug logging.

.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
.Pp
|
|
At debug level 0, little information is logged except for the following
|
|
line during boot process:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
psm0: device ID X, N buttons?
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
where
|

the device ID code returned by the found pointing device.
|
|
Known IDs include:

.Bl -tag -width 0__
|
|

|
|
Mouse (Microsoft, Logitech and many other manufacturers)
|
|
.It Em 2
|
|
Microsoft Ballpoint mouse
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Currently the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver can detect the 3 button mouse from Logitech and report
|
|
accordingly.
|
|
The 3 button mouse from the other manufacturer may or may not be
|
|
reported correctly. However, it will not affect the operation of
|
|
the driver.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
At debug level 1 more information will be logged
|
|
while the driver probes the auxially (mouse) port.
|
|
Messages are logged with the LOG_KERN facility at the LOG_DEBUG level.

|
|
The first line shows the command byte value of the keyboard
|
|
controller just before the auxially port is probed.
|
|
It usually is 4D, 45, 47 or 65, depending on the keyboard device
|
|
driver.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The second line shows the result of the keyboard controller's

test on the auxially port interface, with zero indicating

no error; note that some controllers report no error even if
|
|
the port does not exist in the system, however.
|

The third to fifth lines show the reset status of the pointing device.

The functioning device should return the sequence of FA AA <ID>.

The ID code is described above.

|
|
Note that the pointing device will not be enabled until the

|
.Nm
|
|
device is opened by the user programs.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
At debug level 2, much more detailed information is logged.
|
|
.Sh CAVEATS
|
|
There is not a guaranteed way to re-synchronize with the first byte
|
|
of the packet once we are out of synchronization with the data
|
|
stream, because there is not a unique bit pattern to identify
|
|
the first byte with.
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The driver includes the code for the
|
|
.Dv MOUSECREAD
|
|
command of
|
|
.Fn ioctl
|
|
function, which fills a
|
|
.Fa mouseinfo
|
|
structure (see
|
|
.Ao Pa machine/mouse.h Ac ).
|
|
However, it currently is not functioning properly, and may be removed
|
|
in the future.
