I have found from the exec manual that if I tell the mouse port to "wait", the process will go to sleep untill there is an input to the mouse port. This is just fine, since I do not have to constantly poll the mouse port and use up valuable time. I have a problem with the Timestamp.however I would like to know the real time of the mouse signal, or the real time since the last signal,but the numbers I get back are meaningless.(the seconds are garbage, and the microseconds are always 0). I am reluctant to make a separate function call because I would like timing on the order of miliseconds.Could anyone point me in the right direction for getting a time associated with a mouse signal? Can it be done? Thanks. WRN CMU Dept. of Physics
