33.Sh NAME
34.Nm wsmouse
35.Nd generic mouse support in wscons
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.Cd "wsmouse*   at pms? mux 0"
38(PS/2 mouse, including ``IntelliMouse''-compatible wheel mice)
39.Cd "wsmouse*   at ums? mux 0"
40(USB mouse)
41.Cd "wsmouse*   at lms? mux 0"
42(Logitech bus mouse, i386 only)
43.Cd "wsmouse*   at mms? mux 0"
44(Microsoft InPort mouse, i386 only)
45.Cd "wsmouse0   at ams? mux 0"
46(Apple ADB mouse)
47.Cd "wsmouse*	at btms? mux 0"
48(Bluetooth mouse)
49.Sh DESCRIPTION
50The
51.Nm
52driver is an abstraction layer for mice within the
53.Xr wscons 4
54framework.
55It is attached to the hardware specific mouse drivers and
56provides a character device interface which returns
57.Fa struct wscons_event
58via
59.Xr read 2 .
60For use with X servers,
61.Dq mouse events
62can be generated.
63.Pp
64The
65.Xr wsconsctl 8
66utility gives access to several configurable details that affect this
67driver.
68.Ss Ioctls
69The following
70.Xr ioctl 2
71calls are provided by the
72.Nm
73driver or by devices which use it.
74Their definitions are found in
75.Pa dev/wscons/wsconsio.h .
76.Bl -tag -width Dv
77.It Dv WSMOUSEIO_GETREPEAT Pq Li "struct wsmouse_repeat"
78Retrieve the current automatic button repeating configuration.
79The structure returned is as follows:
80.Bd -literal -offset indent
81struct wsmouse_repeat {
82	unsigned long   wr_buttons;
83	unsigned int    wr_delay_first;
84	unsigned int    wr_delay_decrement;
85	unsigned int    wr_delay_minimum;
86};
87.Ed
88.Pp
89The
90.Va wr_buttons
91field is a bit mask that specifies which buttons send press and
92release events periodically while they are physically held down.
93The least significant bit corresponds to button 0.
94.Pp
95The other three fields describe the frequency upon which these
96automatic events are sent.
97.Va wr_delay_first
98specifies the milliseconds before the first repeated event is sent.
99.Va wr_delay_decrement
100is used to calculate the delay between the most recently generated
101event and the forthcoming one: the previous delay is taken and it is
102decreased by the value given in this variable.
103.Va wr_delay_minimum
104specifies the minimum delay, in milliseconds, between two consecutive
105events.
106.Pp
107.It Dv WSMOUSEIO_SETREPEAT Pq Li "struct wsmouse_repeat"
108Set the automatic button repeating configuration.
109See
110.Dv WSMOUSEIO_GETREPEAT
111above for more details.
