| 23 | .\" .Cd "options MSE_XXX=N" | |
| 24 | .Cd "device mse0 at isa? port 0x23c irq 5" | |
| 25 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | |
| 26 | The | |
| 27 | .Nm | |
| 28 | driver provides support for the bus mouse and the InPort mouse, which | |
| 29 | are often collectively called ``bus'' mice, as these mice are sold with | |
| 30 | an interface card which needs to be installed in an expansion bus slot. | |
| 31 | The interface circuit may come on an integrated I/O card or as an option | |
| 32 | on video cards. | |
| 33 | .Pp | |
| 34 | The bus and InPort mice have two or three buttons, | |
| 35 | and a D-sub 9-pin male connector or a round DIN 9-pin | |
| 36 | male connector. | |
| 37 | .Pp | |
| 38 | The primary port address of the bus and InPort mouse interface cards | |
| 39 | is usually 0x23c. | |
| 40 | Some cards may also be set to use the secondary port | |
| 41 | address at 0x238. | |
| 42 | The interface cards require a single IRQ, which may be | |
| 43 | 2, 3, 4 or 5. Some cards may offer additional IRQs. | |
| 44 | The port number and the IRQ number are configured by jumpers on the cards | |
| 45 | or by software provided with the card. | |
| 46 | .Pp | |
| 47 | Frequency, or report rate, at which the device sends movement | |
| 48 | and button state reports to the host system, may also be configurable on | |
| 49 | some interface cards. | |
| 50 | It may be 15, 30, 60 or 120Hz. | |
| 51 | .Pp | |
| 52 | The difference between the two types of the mice is not in mouse devices | |
| 53 | (in fact they are exactly the same). But in the circuit on the interface | |
| 54 | cards. | |
| 55 | This means that the device from a bus mouse package can be | |
| 56 | connected to the interface card from an InPort mouse package, or vice | |
| 57 | versa, provided that their connectors match. | |
| 58 | .Ss Operation Levels | |
| 59 | The | |
| 60 | .Nm | |
| 61 | driver has two levels of operation. | |
| 62 | The current operation level can be set via an ioctl call. | |
| 63 | .Pp | |
| 64 | At the level zero the basic support is provided; the device driver will report | |
| 65 | horizontal and vertical movement of the attached device | |
| 66 | and state of up to three buttons in the format described below. | |
| 67 | It is a subset of the MouseSystems protocol. | |

| 77 | Left button status; cleared if pressed, otherwise set. | |
| 78 | .It bit 1 | |

| 80 | Always one, | |
| 81 | if the device does not have the middle button. | |

| 90 | Always zero. | |
| 91 | .It Byte 5 | |
| 92 | Always zero. | |
| 93 | .El | |
| 94 | .Pp | |
| 95 | This is the default level of operation and the driver is initially | |
| 96 | at this level when opened by the user program. | |
| 97 | .Pp | |
| 98 | At the operation level one (extended level), a data packet is encoded | |
| 99 | in the standard format | |
| 100 | .Dv MOUSE_PROTO_SYSMOUSE | |
| 101 | as defined in | |
| 102 | .Xr mouse 4 . | |
| 103 | .Ss Acceleration | |
| 104 | The | |
| 105 | .Nm | |
| 106 | driver can somewhat `accelerate' the movement of the pointing device. | |
| 107 | The faster you move the device, the further the pointer | |
| 108 | travels on the screen. | |
| 109 | The driver has an internal variable which governs the effect of | |
| 110 | the acceleration. | |
| 111 | Its value can be modified via the driver flag | |
| 112 | or via an ioctl call. | |
| 113 | .Ss Device Number | |
| 114 | The minor device number of the | |
| 115 | .Nm | |
| 116 | is made up of: | |
| 117 | .Bd -literal -offset indent | |
| 118 | minor = (`unit' << 1) | `non-blocking' | |
| 119 | .Ed | |
| 120 | .Pp | |
| 121 | where `unit' is the device number (usually 0) and the `non-blocking' bit | |
| 122 | is set to indicate ``don't block waiting for mouse input, | |
| 123 | return immediately''. | |
| 124 | The `non-blocking' bit should be set for \fIXFree86\fP, | |
| 125 | therefore the minor device number usually used for \fIXFree86\fP is 1. | |
| 126 | See | |
| 127 | .Sx FILES | |
| 128 | for device node names. | |
| 129 | .Sh DRIVER CONFIGURATION | |
| 130 | .\" .Ss Kernel Configuration Options | |
| 131 | .Ss Driver Flags | |
| 132 | The | |
| 133 | .Nm | |
| 134 | driver accepts the following driver flag. | |
| 135 | Set it in the | |
| 136 | kernel configuration file | |
| 137 | (see | |
| 138 | .Xr config 8 ) | |
| 139 | or in the User Configuration Menu at | |
| 140 | the boot time | |
| 141 | (see | |
| 142 | .Xr boot 8 ) . | |
| 984263bc MD |
143 | .Bl -tag -width MOUSE |
| 144 | .It bit 4..7 ACCELERATION | |
| 145 | This flag controls the amount of acceleration effect. | |
| 146 | The smaller the value of this flag is, more sensitive the movement becomes. | |
| 147 | The minimum value allowed, thus the value for the most sensitive setting, | |
| 148 | is one. | |
| 149 | Setting this flag to zero will completely disables the | |
| 150 | acceleration effect. | |
| 151 | .El | |
| 152 | .Sh IOCTLS | |
| 153 | There are a few | |
| 154 | .Xr ioctl 2 | |
| 155 | commands for mouse drivers. | |
| 156 | These commands and related structures and constants are defined in | |
| 44cb301e | 157 | .In machine/mouse.h . |

158 | General description of the commands is given in |

| 253 | is the status report rate (reports/sec) at which the device will send | |
| 254 | movement report to the host computer. | |

| 283 | The array | |
| 284 | .Dv syncmask | |
| 285 | holds a bit mask and pattern to detect the first byte of the | |
| 286 | data packet. | |
| 287 | .Dv syncmask[0] | |
| 288 | is the bit mask to be ANDed with a byte. | |
| 289 | If the result is equal to | |
| 290 | .Dv syncmask[1] , | |
| 291 | the byte is likely to be the first byte of the data packet. | |
| 292 | Note that this detection method is not 100% reliable, | |
| 293 | thus, should be taken only as an advisory measure. | |
| 294 | .Pp | |
| 295 | Only | |
