32.Sh NAME
33.Nm psm
34.Nd PS/2 mouse style pointing device driver
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36.Cd "options KBD_RESETDELAY=N"
37.Cd "options KBD_MAXWAIT=N"
38.Cd "options PSM_DEBUG=N"
39.Cd "options KBDIO_DEBUG=N"
40.Cd "device psm0 at atkbdc? irq 12"
41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42The
43.Nm
44driver provides support for the PS/2 mouse style pointing device.
45Currently there can be only one
46.Nm
47device node in the system.
48As the PS/2 mouse port is located
49at the auxiliary port of the keyboard controller,
50the keyboard controller driver,
51.Nm atkbdc ,
52must also be configured in the kernel.
53Note that there is currently no provision of changing the
54.Em irq
55number.
56.Pp
57Basic PS/2 style pointing device has two or three buttons.
58Some devices may have a roller or a wheel and/or additional buttons.
59.Ss Device Resolution
60The PS/2 style pointing device usually has several grades of resolution,
61that is, sensitivity of movement.
62They are typically 25, 50, 100 and 200
63pulse per inch.
64Some devices may have finer resolution.
65The current resolution can be changed at runtime.
66The
67.Nm
68driver allows the user to initially set the resolution
69via the driver flag
70(see
71.Sx "DRIVER CONFIGURATION" )
72or change it later via the
73.Xr ioctl 2
74command
75.Dv MOUSE_SETMODE
76(see
77.Sx IOCTLS ) .
78.Ss Report Rate
79Frequency, or report rate, at which the device sends movement
80and button state reports to the host system is also configurable.
81The PS/2 style pointing device typically supports 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100
82and 200 reports per second.
8360 or 100 appears to be the default value for many devices.
84Note that when there is no movement and no button has changed its state,
85the device won't send anything to the host system.
86The report rate can be changed via an ioctl call.
87.Ss Operation Levels
88The
89.Nm
90driver has three levels of operation.
91The current operation level can be set via an ioctl call.
92.Pp
93At the level zero the basic support is provided; the device driver will report
94horizontal and vertical movement of the attached device
95and state of up to three buttons.
96The movement and status are encoded in a series of fixed-length data packets
97(see
98.Sx "Data Packet Format" ) .
99This is the default level of operation and the driver is initially
100at this level when opened by the user program.
101.Pp
102The operation level one, the `extended' level, supports a roller (or wheel),
103if any, and up to 11 buttons.
104The movement of the roller is reported as movement along the Z axis.
1058 byte data packets are sent to the user program at this level.
106.Pp
107At the operation level two, data from the pointing device is passed to the
108user program as is.
109Modern PS/2 type pointing devices often use proprietary data format.
110Therefore, the user program is expected to have
111intimate knowledge about the format from a particular device when operating
112the driver at this level.
113This level is called `native' level.
114.Ss Data Packet Format
115Data packets read from the
116.Nm
117driver are formatted differently at each operation level.
118.Pp
119A data packet from the PS/2 mouse style pointing device
120is three bytes long at the operation level zero:
121.Pp
122.Bl -tag -width Byte_1 -compact
123.It Byte 1
124.Bl -tag -width bit_7 -compact
125.It bit 7
126One indicates overflow in the vertical movement count.
127.It bit 6
128One indicates overflow in the horizontal movement count.
129.It bit 5
130Set if the vertical movement count is negative.
131.It bit 4
132Set if the horizontal movement count is negative.
133.It bit 3
134Always one.
135.\" The ALPS GlidePoint clears this bit when the user `taps' the surface of
136.\" the pad, otherwise the bit is set.
137.\" Most, if not all, other devices always set this bit.
138.It bit 2
139Middle button status; set if pressed.
140For devices without the middle
141button, this bit is always zero.
142.It bit 1
143Right button status; set if pressed.
144.It bit 0
145Left button status; set if pressed.
146.El
147.It Byte 2
148Horizontal movement count in two's complement;
149-256 through 255.
150Note that the sign bit is in the first byte.
151.It Byte 3
152Vertical movement count in two's complement;
153-256 through 255.
154Note that the sign bit is in the first byte.
155.El
156.Pp
157At the level one, a data packet is encoded
158in the standard format
159.Dv MOUSE_PROTO_SYSMOUSE
160as defined in
161.Xr mouse 4 .
162.Pp
163At the level two, native level, there is no standard on the size and format
164of the data packet.
165.Ss Acceleration
166The
167.Nm
168driver can somewhat `accelerate' the movement of the pointing device.
169The faster you move the device, the further the pointer
170travels on the screen.
171The driver has an internal variable which governs the effect of
172the acceleration.
173Its value can be modified via the driver flag
174or via an ioctl call.
175.Ss Device Number
176The minor device number of the
177.Nm
178is made up of:
179.Bd -literal -offset indent
180minor = (`unit' << 1) | `non-blocking'
181.Ed
182.Pp
183where `unit' is the device number (usually 0) and the `non-blocking' bit
184is set to indicate ``don't block waiting for mouse input,
185return immediately''.
186The `non-blocking' bit should be set for \fIXFree86\fP,
187therefore the minor device number usually used for \fIXFree86\fP is 1.
188See
189.Sx FILES
190for device node names.
191.Sh DRIVER CONFIGURATION
192.Ss Kernel Configuration Options
193There are following kernel configuration options to control the
194.Nm
195driver.
196They may be set in the kernel configuration file
197(see
198.Xr config 8 ) .
199.Bl -tag -width MOUSE
200.It Em KBD_RESETDELAY=X , KBD_MAXWAIT=Y
201The
202.Nm
203driver will attempt to reset the pointing device during the boot process.
204It sometimes takes a long while before the device will respond after
205reset.
206These options control how long the driver should wait before
207it eventually gives up waiting.
208The driver will wait
209.Fa X
210*
211.Fa Y
212msecs at most.
213If the driver seems unable to detect your pointing
214device, you may want to increase these values.
215The default values are
216200 msec for
217.Fa X
218and 5
219for
220.Fa Y .
221.It Em PSM_DEBUG=N , KBDIO_DEBUG=N
222Sets the debug level to
223.Fa N .
224The default debug level is zero.
225See
226.Sx DIAGNOSTICS
227for debug logging.
228.El
229.Ss Driver Flags
230The
231.Nm
232driver accepts the following driver flags.
233Set them in the
234kernel configuration file or in the User Configuration Menu at
235the boot time
236(see
237.Xr boot 8 ) .
238.Bl -tag -width MOUSE
239.It bit 0..3 RESOLUTION
240This flag specifies the resolution of the pointing device.
241It must be zero through four.
242The greater the value
243is, the finer resolution the device will select.
244Actual resolution selected by this field varies according to the model
245of the device.
246Typical resolutions are:
247.Pp
248.Bl -tag -width 0_(medium_high)__ -compact
249.It Em 1 (low)
25025 pulse per inch (ppi)
251.It Em 2 (medium low)
25250 ppi
253.It Em 3 (medium high)
254100 ppi
255.It Em 4 (high)
256200 ppi
257.El
258.Pp
259Leaving this flag zero will selects the default resolution for the
260device (whatever it is).
261.It bit 4..7 ACCELERATION
262This flag controls the amount of acceleration effect.
263The smaller the value of this flag is, more sensitive the movement becomes.
264The minimum value allowed, thus the value for the most sensitive setting,
265is one.
266Setting this flag to zero will completely disables the
267acceleration effect.
268.It bit 8 NOCHECKSYNC
269The
270.Nm
271driver tries to detect the first byte of the data packet by checking
272the bit pattern of that byte.
273Although this method should work with most
274PS/2 pointing devices, it may interfere with some devices which are not
275so compatible with known devices.
276If you think your pointing device is not functioning as expected,
277and the kernel frequently prints the following message to the console,
278.Bd -literal -offset indent
279psmintr: out of sync (xxxx != yyyy).
280.Ed
281.Pp
282set this flag to disable synchronization check and see if it helps.
283.It bit 9 NOIDPROBE
284The
285.Nm
286driver will not try to identify the model of the pointing device and
287will not carry out model-specific initialization.
288The device should always act like a standard PS/2 mouse without such
289initialization.
290Extra features, such as wheels and additional buttons, won't be
291recognized by the
292.Nm
293driver.
294.It bit 10 NORESET
295When this flag is set, the
296.Nm
297driver won't reset the pointing device when initializing the device.
298If the
299.Dx
300kernel
301is started after another OS has run, the pointing device will inherit
302settings from the previous OS.
303However, because there is no way for the
304.Nm
305driver to know the settings, the device and the driver may not
306work correctly.
307The flag should never be necessary under normal circumstances.
308.It bit 11 FORCETAP
309Some pad devices report as if the fourth button is pressed
310when the user `taps' the surface of the device (see
311.Sx CAVEATS ) .
312This flag will make the
313.Nm
314driver assume that the device behaves this way.
315Without the flag, the driver will assume this behavior
316for ALPS GlidePoint models only.
317.It bit 12 IGNOREPORTERROR
318This flag makes
319.Nm
320driver ignore certain error conditions when probing the PS/2 mouse port.
321It should never be necessary under normal circumstances.
322.It bit 13 HOOKRESUME
323The built-in PS/2 pointing device of some laptop computers is somehow
324not operable immediately after the system `resumes' from
325the power saving mode,
326though it will eventually become available.
327There are reports that
328stimulating the device by performing I/O will help
329waking up the device quickly.
330This flag will enable a piece of code in the
331.Nm
332driver to hook
333the `resume' event and exercise some harmless I/O operations on the
334device.
335.It bit 14 INITAFTERSUSPEND
336This flag adds more drastic action for the above problem.
337It will cause the
338.Nm
339driver to reset and re-initialize the pointing device
340after the `resume' event.
341It has no effect unless the
342.Em HOOKRESUME
343flag is set as well.
344.El
345.Sh LOADER TUNABLES
346Extended support for Synaptics touchpads can be enabled by setting
347.Va hw.psm.synaptics_support
348to
349.Em 1
350at boot-time.
351This will enable
352.Nm
353to handle packets from guest devices (sticks) and extra buttons.
354.Pp
355Tap and drag gestures can be disabled by setting
356.Va hw.psm.tap_enabled
357to
358.Em 0
359at boot-time.
360Currently, this is only supported on Synaptics touchpads with Extended
361support disabled. The behaviour may be changed after boot by setting
362the sysctl with the same name and by restarting
363.Xr moused 8
364using
365.Pa /etc/rc.d/moused .
366.Sh IOCTLS
367There are a few
368.Xr ioctl 2
369commands for mouse drivers.
370These commands and related structures and constants are defined in
371.In sys/mouse.h .
372General description of the commands is given in
373.Xr mouse 4 .
374This section explains the features specific to the
375.Nm
376driver.
377.Pp
378.Bl -tag -width MOUSE -compact
379.It Dv MOUSE_GETLEVEL Ar int *level
380.It Dv MOUSE_SETLEVEL Ar int *level
381These commands manipulate the operation level of the
382.Nm
383driver.
384.Pp
385.It Dv MOUSE_GETHWINFO Ar mousehw_t *hw
386Returns the hardware information of the attached device in the following
387structure.
388.Bd -literal
389typedef struct mousehw {
390 int buttons; /* number of buttons */
391 int iftype; /* I/F type */
392 int type; /* mouse/track ball/pad... */
393 int model; /* I/F dependent model ID */
394 int hwid; /* I/F dependent hardware ID */
395} mousehw_t;
396.Ed
397.Pp
398The
399.Dv buttons
400field holds the number of buttons on the device.
401The
402.Nm
403driver currently can detect the 3 button mouse from Logitech and report
404accordingly.
405The 3 button mouse from the other manufacturer may or may not be
406reported correctly.
407However, it will not affect the operation of
408the driver.
409.Pp
410The
411.Dv iftype
412is always
413.Dv MOUSE_IF_PS2 .
414.Pp
415The
416.Dv type
417tells the device type:
418.Dv MOUSE_MOUSE ,
419.Dv MOUSE_TRACKBALL ,
420.Dv MOUSE_STICK ,
421.Dv MOUSE_PAD ,
422or
423.Dv MOUSE_UNKNOWN .
424The user should not heavily rely on this field, as the
425driver may not always, in fact it is very rarely able to, identify
426the device type.
427.Pp
428The
429.Dv model
430is always
431.Dv MOUSE_MODEL_GENERIC
432at the operation level 0.
433It may be
434.Dv MOUSE_MODEL_GENERIC
435or one of
436.Dv MOUSE_MODEL_XXX
437constants at higher operation levels.
438Again the
439.Nm
440driver may or may not set an appropriate value in this field.
441.Pp
442The
443.Dv hwid
444is the ID value returned by the device.
445Known IDs include:

484for more information about the fields in this structure.
485.Pp
486.It Dv MOUSE_GETMODE Ar mousemode_t *mode
487The command gets the current operation parameters of the mouse
488driver.
489.Bd -literal
490typedef struct mousemode {
491 int protocol; /* MOUSE_PROTO_XXX */
492 int rate; /* report rate (per sec), -1 if unknown */

496 int packetsize; /* the length of the data packet */
497 unsigned char syncmask[2]; /* sync. bits */
498} mousemode_t;
499.Ed
500.Pp
501The
502.Dv protocol
503is
504.Dv MOUSE_PROTO_PS2
505at the operation level zero and two.
506.Dv MOUSE_PROTO_SYSMOUSE
507at the operation level one.
508.Pp
509The
510.Dv rate
511is the status report rate (reports/sec) at which the device will send
512movement report to the host computer.
513Typical supported values are 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 and 200.
514Some mice may accept other arbitrary values too.
515.Pp
516The
517.Dv resolution
518of the pointing device must be one of
519.Dv MOUSE_RES_XXX
520constants or a positive value.
521The greater the value
522is, the finer resolution the mouse will select.
523Actual resolution selected by the
524.Dv MOUSE_RES_XXX
525constant varies according to the model of mouse.
526Typical resolutions are:
527.Pp

538.Pp
539The
540.Dv accelfactor
541field holds a value to control acceleration feature
542(see
543.Sx Acceleration ) .
544It must be zero or greater. If it is zero, acceleration is disabled.
545.Pp
546The
547.Dv packetsize
548field specifies the length of the data packet.
549It depends on the
550operation level and the model of the pointing device.

560.Pp
561The array
562.Dv syncmask
563holds a bit mask and pattern to detect the first byte of the
564data packet.
565.Dv syncmask[0]
566is the bit mask to be ANDed with a byte.
567If the result is equal to
568.Dv syncmask[1] ,
569the byte is likely to be the first byte of the data packet.
570Note that this detection method is not 100% reliable,
571thus, should be taken only as an advisory measure.
572.Pp
573.It Dv MOUSE_SETMODE Ar mousemode_t *mode
574The command changes the current operation parameters of the mouse driver
575as specified in

577Only
578.Dv rate ,
579.Dv resolution ,
580.Dv level
581and
582.Dv accelfactor

584Setting values in the other field does not generate
585error and has no effect.
586.Pp
587If you do not want to change the current setting of a field, put -1
588there.
589You may also put zero in

689.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
690At debug level 0, little information is logged except for the following
691line during boot process:
692.Bd -literal -offset indent
693psm0: device ID X
694.Ed
695.Pp
696where
697.Fa X
698the device ID code returned by the found pointing device.
699See
700.Dv MOUSE_GETINFO
701for known IDs.
702.Pp
703At debug level 1 more information will be logged
704while the driver probes the auxiliary port (mouse port).
705Messages are logged with the LOG_KERN facility at the LOG_DEBUG level
706(see
707.Xr syslogd 8 ) .

721.Pp
722The first line shows the command byte value of the keyboard
723controller just before the auxiliary port is probed.
724It usually is 4D, 45, 47 or 65, depending on how the motherboard BIOS
725initialized the keyboard controller upon power-up.
726.Pp
727The second line shows the result of the keyboard controller's
728test on the auxiliary port interface, with zero indicating
729no error; note that some controllers report no error even if
730the port does not exist in the system, however.
731.Pp
732The third through fifth lines show the reset status of the pointing device.
733The functioning device should return the sequence of FA AA <ID>.
734The ID code is described above.
735.Pp
736The seventh line shows the current hardware settings.

792At debug level 2, much more detailed information is logged.
793.Sh CAVEATS
794Many pad devices behave as if the first (left) button were pressed if
795the user `taps' the surface of the pad.
796In contrast, some pad products, e.g. some versions of ALPS GlidePoint
797and Interlink VersaPad, treat the tapping action
798as fourth button events.
799.Pp
800It is reported that Interlink VersaPad requires both
801.Em HOOKRESUME
802and
803.Em INITAFTERSUSPEND
804flags in order to recover from suspended state.
805These flags are automatically set when VersaPad is detected by the
806.Nm
807driver.
808.Pp
809Some PS/2 mouse models from MouseSystems require to be put in the
810high resolution mode to work properly.
811Use the driver flag to
812set resolution.
813.Pp
814There is not a guaranteed way to re-synchronize with the first byte
815of the packet once we are out of synchronization with the data
816stream.
817However, if you are using the \fIXFree86\fP server and experiencing
818the problem, you may be able to make the X server synchronize with the mouse
819by switching away to a virtual terminal and getting back to the X server,
820unless the X server is accessing the mouse via
821.Xr moused 8 .
822Clicking any button without moving the mouse may also work.
