The following are command-line switches for mouse driver 6.00 and above:
SWITCH DESCRIPTION
/B Look for Bus or InPort mouse at primary address
/I1 InPort mouse at primary address
/I2 InPort mouse at secondary address
/C1 Serial mouse on COM1
/C2 Serial mouse on COM2
/S <nnn> Horizontal and vertical sensitivity <nnn> = 0 to 100
/H <nnn> Horizontal sensitivity
/V <nnn> Vertical sensitivity
/R0 InPort interupt rate disabled
/R1 InPort interupt rate 30Hz (default)
/R2 InPort interupt rate 50Hz
/R3 InPort interupt rate 100Hz
/R4 InPort interupt rate 200Hz
Example: mouse /s75 <- sets mouse sensitivity to 75 (50 default)
The following are the current command-line options (switches) for
Microsoft Mouse Driver version 7.04:
SWITCH DESCRIPTION
/B Using bus mouse
/Cn Using serial mouse on port COMn
(where: 0 <= n <= 1)
/Dn Enabling double-speed threshold
(where: 0 <= n <= 100)
0 => No threshold speed (always double speed)
100 => Maximum threshold speed (rarely double speed)
/Hn Setting horizontal sensitivity
(where: 0 <= n <= 100)
0 => 0 horizontal mickeys per pixel scaling factor
(i.e., no horizontal movement returned)
100 => 100 horizontal mickeys per pixel scaling factor
/In Using Microsoft InPort Mouse on primary or secondary InPort
(where: n = 1 or n = 2)
/L(c) Selecting language c
Languages are defined as follows:
C LANGUAGE ORDINAL VALUECASE:
(default) English 0
F French 1
NL Netherlands (Dutch) 2
D German 3
S Swedish 4
SF Finnish 5
E Spanish 6
P Portuguese 7
I Italian 8
K Korean 9
J Japanese 10
/Mn Cursor mask override
(where: 0 <= n <= 255, n = 0 => mask off)
0 => Mask off
Not 0 => Mask on
(If software cursor is specified in function 10, then set
cursor to default software cursor. It tells the mouse
driver to determine which bit pattern to use to make
the cursor visible.)
/Nn Using dampened cursor motion for LCD laptop display
(where: 0 <= n <= 255)
(This slows down the screen update rate.)
0 => Skip 0 interrupts (this is, same as normal mouse)
255 => Skip 255 mouse hardware interrupts before
processing data
/Pn Selecting ballistic curve number n
(where: 1 <= n <= 4)
(Note that this may change)
/R(n) Setting interrupt rate
(where: 1 <= n <= 4, default n = 1)
1 => 30Hz
2 => 50Hz
3 => 100Hz
4 => 200Hz
/Sn Setting both horizontal and vertical sensitivity
(where: 0 <= n <= 100)
0 => 0 mickeys per pixel scaling factor
(that is, no movement returned)
100 => 100 mickeys per pixel scaling factor
/Vn Setting vertical sensitivity
(where: 0 <= n <= 100)
0 => 0 vertical mickeys per pixel scaling factor
(that is, no vertical movement returned)
100 => 100 vertical mickeys per pixel scaling factor
/Y Disabling sprite and Video Seven code
(To disable mouse driver hardware cursor support on
certain Video Seven and C&T VGA controllers.)
/Z Using PS/2 mouse
