[comp.unix.i386] 386/ix mouse driver question

marc@dumbcat.UUCP (Marco S Hyman) (03/12/90)

Can someone tell me where in TFM for 386/ix (2.0.2) the _complete_ interface
to the mouse driver is documented.  I've discovered that a 3 character read
will give me almost all the information that the MOUSEIOCREAD ioctl will
give, except that the button status bits and ymotion values are inverted.
I'm curious as to what other shortcuts might exist.  BTW: I'm using a
microsoft bus mouse and opening /dev/mouse, if it makes any difference.
