33.Sh NAME
34.Nm ms
35.Nd Sun workstation mouse driver
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.Cd "pseudo-device mouse"
38.Sh DESCRIPTION
39The
40.Nm
41driver provides an interface to the workstation console mouse.
42This
43.Tn Mouse Systems
44three-button device produces five-byte blobs of the form:
45.Pp
46.Bd -literal -offset indent
47b dx dy dx dy
48.Ed
49.Pp
50where
51.Dq b
52is the button state, encoded as
53.Li 0x80|(~buttons)
54-- there are three buttons (4=left, 2=middle, 1=right) --
55and
56.Dq \&dx
57and
58.Dq \&dy
59are X and Y delta values, none of which are in the range
60.Bq Li 0x80..0x87 .
61.Pp
62The device special file
63.Pa /dev/mouse
64is used to get direct access to the mouse input stream.
65The following
66ioctl's are supported (mostly just enough to keep the
67.Xr X 1
68server going):
69.Bl -tag -width VUIDSFORMAT
70.It Dv VUIDSFORMAT
71Set translation mode.
72The argument is of type
73.Fa "int *" ,
74the only value supported is
75.Dv VUID_FIRM_EVENT .
76.It Dv VUIDGFORMAT
77Get translation mode.
78The argument is of type
79.Fa "int *" .
80.Dv VUID_FIRM_EVENT
81is always returned.
82.El
83.Ss OPTIONS
84The mouse driver can be configured using the following kernel configuration
85file options.
86.Bl -tag -width VUIDSFORMAT
87.It Cd options SUN_MS_BPS=integer
88This option causes the kernel to communicate with the mouse using the serial
89baud rate
90.Va integer .
91It is useful for mice which do not communicate at 1200 baud.
92.El
93.Sh SEE ALSO
94.Xr kbd 4
95.Sh BUGS
96.Nm
97is hardwired to the built-in
98.Em zs1
99serial port.
