19.Sh NAME
20.Nm mse
21.Nd bus and InPort mice driver
22.Sh SYNOPSIS
23.\" .Cd "options MSE_XXX=N"
24.Cd "device mse0 at isa? port 0x23c irq 5"
25.Sh DESCRIPTION
26The
27.Nm
28driver provides support for the bus mouse and the InPort mouse, which
29are often collectively called ``bus'' mice, as these mice are sold with
30an interface card which needs to be installed in an expansion bus slot.
31The interface circuit may come on an integrated I/O card or as an option
32on video cards.
33.Pp
34The bus and InPort mice have two or three buttons,
35and a D-sub 9-pin male connector or a round DIN 9-pin
36male connector.
37.Pp
38The primary port address of the bus and InPort mouse interface cards
39is usually 0x23c.
40Some cards may also be set to use the secondary port
41address at 0x238.
42The interface cards require a single IRQ, which may be
432, 3, 4 or 5. Some cards may offer additional IRQs.
44The port number and the IRQ number are configured by jumpers on the cards
45or by software provided with the card.
46.Pp
47Frequency, or report rate, at which the device sends movement
48and button state reports to the host system, may also be configurable on
49some interface cards.
50It may be 15, 30, 60 or 120Hz.
51.Pp
52The 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
54cards.
55This means that the device from a bus mouse package can be
56connected to the interface card from an InPort mouse package, or vice
57versa, provided that their connectors match.
58.Ss Operation Levels
59The
60.Nm
61driver has two levels of operation.
62The current operation level can be set via an ioctl call.
63.Pp
64At the level zero the basic support is provided; the device driver will report
65horizontal and vertical movement of the attached device
66and state of up to three buttons in the format described below.
67It is a subset of the MouseSystems protocol.
68.Pp
69.Bl -tag -width Byte_1 -compact

76.It bit 2
77Left button status; cleared if pressed, otherwise set.
78.It bit 1
79Middle button status; cleared if pressed, otherwise set.
80Always one,
81if the device does not have the middle button.
82.It bit 0
83Right button status; cleared if pressed, otherwise set.

85.It Byte 2
86Horizontal movement count in two's complement; -128 through 127.

88Vertical movement count in two's complement; -128 through 127.
89.It Byte 4
90Always zero.
91.It Byte 5
92Always zero.
93.El
94.Pp
95This is the default level of operation and the driver is initially
96at this level when opened by the user program.
97.Pp
98At the operation level one (extended level), a data packet is encoded
99in the standard format
100.Dv MOUSE_PROTO_SYSMOUSE
101as defined in
102.Xr mouse 4 .
103.Ss Acceleration
104The
105.Nm
106driver can somewhat `accelerate' the movement of the pointing device.
107The faster you move the device, the further the pointer
108travels on the screen.
109The driver has an internal variable which governs the effect of
110the acceleration.
111Its value can be modified via the driver flag
112or via an ioctl call.
113.Ss Device Number
114The minor device number of the
115.Nm
116is made up of:
117.Bd -literal -offset indent
118minor = (`unit' << 1) | `non-blocking'
119.Ed
120.Pp
121where `unit' is the device number (usually 0) and the `non-blocking' bit
122is set to indicate ``don't block waiting for mouse input,
123return immediately''.
124The `non-blocking' bit should be set for \fIXFree86\fP,
125therefore the minor device number usually used for \fIXFree86\fP is 1.
126See
127.Sx FILES
128for device node names.
129.Sh DRIVER CONFIGURATION
130.\" .Ss Kernel Configuration Options
131.Ss Driver Flags
132The
133.Nm
134driver accepts the following driver flag.
135Set it in the
136kernel configuration file
137(see
138.Xr config 8 )
139or in the User Configuration Menu at
140the boot time
141(see
142.Xr boot 8 ) .
143.Bl -tag -width MOUSE
144.It bit 4..7 ACCELERATION
145This flag controls the amount of acceleration effect.
146The smaller the value of this flag is, more sensitive the movement becomes.
147The minimum value allowed, thus the value for the most sensitive setting,
148is one.
149Setting this flag to zero will completely disables the
150acceleration effect.
151.El
152.Sh IOCTLS
153There are a few
154.Xr ioctl 2
155commands for mouse drivers.
156These commands and related structures and constants are defined in
157.In sys/mouse.h .
158General description of the commands is given in
159.Xr mouse 4 .
160This section explains the features specific to the
161.Nm
162driver.

164.Bl -tag -width MOUSE -compact
165.It Dv MOUSE_GETLEVEL Ar int *level
166.It Dv MOUSE_SETLEVEL Ar int *level
167These commands manipulate the operation level of the
168.Nm
169driver.
170.Pp
171.It Dv MOUSE_GETHWINFO Ar mousehw_t *hw
172Returns the hardware information of the attached device in the following
173structure.
174Only the
175.Dv iftype
176field is guaranteed to be filled with the correct value by the current
177version of the
178.Nm
179driver.
180.Bd -literal

182 int buttons; /* number of buttons */

187} mousehw_t;
188.Ed
189.Pp
190The
191.Dv buttons
192field holds the number of buttons on the device.
193.Pp
194The
195.Dv iftype
196is either
197.Dv MOUSE_IF_BUS
198or
199.Dv MOUSE_IF_INPORT .
200.Pp
201The
202.Dv type
203may be
204.Dv MOUSE_MOUSE ,
205.Dv MOUSE_TRACKBALL ,
206.Dv MOUSE_STICK ,
207.Dv MOUSE_PAD ,
208or
209.Dv MOUSE_UNKNOWN .
210.Pp
211The
212.Dv model
213is always
214.Dv MOUSE_MODEL_GENERIC
215at the operation level 0.
216It may be
217.Dv MOUSE_MODEL_GENERIC
218or one of
219.Dv MOUSE_MODEL_XXX
220constants at higher operation levels.
221.Pp
222The
223.Dv hwid
224is always 0.
225.Pp
226.It Dv MOUSE_GETMODE Ar mousemode_t *mode
227The command gets the current operation parameters of the mouse
228driver.

231 int protocol; /* MOUSE_PROTO_XXX */
232 int rate; /* report rate (per sec), -1 if unknown */

236 int packetsize; /* the length of the data packet */
237 unsigned char syncmask[2]; /* sync. bits */
238} mousemode_t;
239.Ed
240.Pp
241The
242.Dv protocol
243is either
244.Dv MOUSE_PROTO_BUS
245or
246.Dv MOUSE_PROTO_INPORT
247at the operation level zero.
248.Dv MOUSE_PROTO_SYSMOUSE
249at the operation level one.
250.Pp
251The
252.Dv rate
253is the status report rate (reports/sec) at which the device will send
254movement report to the host computer.
255As there is no standard to detect the current setting,
256this field is always set to -1.
257.Pp
258The
259.Dv resolution
260is always set to -1.
261.Pp
262The
263.Dv accelfactor
264field holds a value to control acceleration feature
265(see
266.Sx Acceleration ) .
267It is zero or greater.
268If it is zero, acceleration is disabled.
269.Pp
270The
271.Dv packetsize
272field specifies the length of the data packet.
273It depends on the
274operation level.
275.Pp

281.El
282.Pp
283The array
284.Dv syncmask
285holds a bit mask and pattern to detect the first byte of the
286data packet.
287.Dv syncmask[0]
288is the bit mask to be ANDed with a byte.
289If the result is equal to
290.Dv syncmask[1] ,
291the byte is likely to be the first byte of the data packet.
292Note that this detection method is not 100% reliable,
293thus, should be taken only as an advisory measure.
294.Pp
295Only
296.Dv level
297and
298.Dv accelfactor
299are modifiable by the
300.Dv MOUSE_SETMODE
301command.
302Changing the other field doesn't cause error, but has no effect.
303.Pp
304.It Dv MOUSE_SETMODE Ar mousemode_t *mode
305The command changes the current operation parameters of the mouse driver
306as specified in
307.Ar mode .
308Only
309.Dv level
310and
311.Dv accelfactor
312may be modifiable.
313Setting values in the other field does not generate
314error and has no effect.

355when enabled, whether or not the mouse state is changing.
356The others generate interrupts only when the state is changing.
