NAME
mouseadmin - mouse administration
SYNOPSIS
mouseadmin -l
mouseadmin [-nb] [-i interrupt] [-a terminal] mouse
mouseadmin [-nb] [-d terminal]
mouseadmin -t
DESCRIPTION
mouseadmin allows any user with system administrator
privileges to add or delete mouse devices. Users without
appropriate privileges will only be allowed to list the
current mouse and display assignments. The mouseadmin command
issued without arguments will execute in menu mode, providing
the user with a listing of current assignments and a selection
menu of operations. After configuring the mouse, choose the U
option to update the mouse configuration and then quit. Once
the new mouse configuration has been updated, you can use the
-t command line option or the T menu option to test the newly
configured mouse.
OPTIONS
The command line arguments are defined as follows:
-a assign mouse device (PS2, BUS, tty00, s0tty0, . . . )
to terminal (console, s0vt00, . . . ).
-b do not validate for BUS mouse in system configuration.
(This option should only be used within install
scripts.)
-d delete terminal assignment.
-i specify an interrupt vector for a BUS mouse. When
using the -i option mouse must be BUS.
-l list mouse/display assignments.
-n build mouse/display pair table without downloading to
driver. (This option should only be used within
install scripts.)
-t test currently configured mouse. If the mouse is
there and detected, the return will be 0; otherwise,
the return will be 1 or higher.
