gpm-mouse-test(8) System Manager's Manual gpm-mouse-test(8)NAME
gpm-mouse-test - a tool for determining mouse type and device it's attached to.
SYNTAX
gpm-mouse-test [ device ... ]
DESCRIPTION
This experimental and incomplete application tries to help in detecting which protocol does your mouse speak. It is able to detect MouseMan
devices, and to choose between `-t ms' (three-buttons aware) and `-t bare' old two-buttons-only serial mice.
BUGS
I know the application is buggy, but I only own one mouse device. If you are interested in this application, just call me and awake me
from my laziness.
OPTIONS
device [ device ... ]
Check this device for a mouse. If no devices are listed, gpm-mouse-test will try all possible devices.

input-linux-mouse - Direct mouse input
SYNOPSIS
input-linux-mouse: [<mousetype>] [,<file>] [,[b<bauds>][r<rts>][d<dtr>]]
DESCRIPTION
This input opens a file (usually a device file or pipe) and reads mouse protocol data from it.
OPTIONS
mousetype
Indicates what type of mouse is attached. The following types are supported:
o ms, Microsoft : Two button Microsoft compatible mice.
o ms3, IntelliMouse, mman+ : Serial Intellimouse or compatible. Supports four buttons for mice like the Logitech MouseMan+.
o MouseSystems, msc : MouseSystems compatible (used in most 3-button mice).
o Logitech, logi : Used in older Logitech serial mice.
o mm, MMSeries : MM series mice.
o Sun : Sun mice. The protocol is the same as 'msc' protocol except it used only 3 bytes per packet.
o MouseMan, mman : MouseMan protocol.
o BusMouse, bm : Non-PS/2 busmice.
o LinuxUSB, lnxusb : IMPS2 that doesn't choke on USB (no init attempted).
o ps2, PS/2 : PS/2 mice (most non-serial mice use this protocol)
o imps2, IMPS/2 : PS/2 IntelliMouse and compatible (not USB, see lnxusb for that.)
o mmanps2, MouseManPlusPS/2 : PS/2 Logitech MouseMan+ and compatible.
Most of the strings supported by GPM, SVGAlib and XFree can be specified. If you find one that isn't, please report.
The special value auto tells input-linux-mouse to read ~/.ggi/input/linux-mouse, and if that fails, $sysconfdir/ggi/input/linux-
mouse. If none of the two files are found, input-linux-mouse tries to auto-detect the mouse, and as a last resort uses the mouse
information specified in /etc/vga/libvga.config.
file The file to read mouse protocol data from; defaults to /dev/mouse.
baud Baud rate of mouse device.
rts Turns off RTS if set to 0; turns RTS on if set to a number greater than 0.
dtr Turns off DTR if set to 0; turns DTR on if set to a number greater than 0.
FEATURES
o Generates evPtr* events.
FILES
~/.ggi/input/linux-mouse and $sysconfdir/ggi/input/linux-mouse consists of the following entries:
mouse mousetype
mdev file
where mousetype and file has the same semantics as the invocation options of the same names.
