DESCRIPTION
       This  input  opens  a file (usually a device file or pipe)
       and reads mouse protocol data from it.

OPTIONS
       mousetype
              Indicates what type of mouse is attached. The  fol-
              lowing types are supported:

              ms     Two button Microsoft compatible mice.

              ms3

              mman   Serial  Intellimouse or compatible. Supports
                     four buttons  for  mice  like  the  Logitech
                     MouseMan+.

              msc    MouseSystems compatible (used in most 3-but-
                     ton mice).

              logi   Used in older Logitech serial mice.

              mm     MM series mice.

              sun    Sun mice. The protocol is the same as  'msc'
                     protocol  except  it  used  only 3 bytes per
                     packet.

              mman   MouseMan protocol.

              bm     Non-PS/2 busmice.

              ps2    PS/2 mice (most  non-serial  mice  use  this
                     protocol)

              imps2  PS/2 IntelliMouse and compatible.

              mmanps2
                     PS/2 Logitech MouseMan+ and compatible.


       Most  of  the  strings supported by GPM, SVGAlib and XFree
       can be specified.

       The special value auto  tells  input-linux-mouse  to  read
       ~/.ggi/input/linux-mouse,     and     if    that    fails,
       $sysconfdir/ggi/input/linux-mouse.  If  none  of  the  two
       files  are  found,  input-linux-mouse tries to auto-detect
       the mouse, and as a last resort uses the mouse information
       specified in /etc/vga/libvga.config.

       file   The file to read mouse protocol data from; defaults
              to /dev/mouse.

       bbaud  Baud rate of mouse device

       rrts   Turns off RTS if set to 0; turns RTS on if set to a
              number greater than 0.

       rdtr   Turns off DTR if set to 0; turns DTR on if set to a
              number greater than 0.

FEATURES
       Generates evPtr* events.

FILES
       ~/.ggi/input/linux-mouse and  $sysconfdir/ggi/input/linux-
       mouse consists of the following entries:

       mouse mousetype
       mdev file

       where  mousetype  and  file  has the same semantics as the
       invocation options of the same names.
