SYNOPSIS
ms0 at zstty?
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:
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
X server going):
-
-
VUIDSFORMAT
- Set translation mode. The argument is of type
int *, the only value supported is
VUID_FIRM_EVENT
.
-
-
VUIDGFORMAT

is
always returned.
