NAME

aux/mouse − configure a mouse to a port

SYNOPSIS

­aux/mouse [ ­-b ­baud ] [ ­-d ­type ] [ ­-n ] ­port

DESCRIPTION

­Mouse queries a mouse on a serial or PS2 port for its type and then configures the port and the mouse to be used to control the cursor. 

­Port can be either a port number (e.g.  ­0 or 1) or the string ps2. 

The option ­-d provides a default mouse type should ­mouse fail to determine it.  The types are:

CLogitech type C mouse

WLogitech type W mouse

MMicrosoft compatible mouse

The ­-n flag queries the mouse and reports its type but does not set the device type. 

The ­-b flag sets the baud rate for communication; it is effectual only for serial mice.
