This file contains the name of your mouse device and the protocol which
|
|
it uses. To create this file, run the following:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput><command>cat > /etc/sysconfig/mouse << "EOF"</command>
|
|
# Begin /etc/sysconfig/mouse
|
|
|
|
MDEVICE=<replaceable>[yourdevice]</replaceable>
|
|
PROTOCOL=<replaceable>[yourprotocol]</replaceable>
|
|
|
|
# End /etc/sysconfig/mouse
|
|
<command>EOF</command></userinput></screen>

<screen><userinput>MDEVICE=/dev/psaux
|

|
|
|
|
<para>A list of which protocol values are known can be found by running
|
|
<command>gpm -t -help</command>. Your <envar>MDEVICE</envar> setting depends on
|
|
which type of mouse you have. For example,
|
|
<filename>/dev/ttyS0</filename> for a serial mouse (on Windows this is
|
|
COM1), <filename>/dev/input/mice</filename> is often used for
|
|
<acronym>USB</acronym> mice
|
|
and <filename>/dev/psaux</filename> for PS2 mice. It is normally
|
|
thought not a good idea to link <filename>/dev/mouse</filename> to the relevant device, but
|
|
instead to reference it directly.</para>
