mouseconfig - configure mouse for use under Linux
SYNOPSIS
mouseconfig [--help] [--expert] [--noprobe] [--kickstart]
[--device
device] [--emulthree] [
mousetype]
DESCRIPTION
mouseconfig sets up the necessary configuration files and file linksto use a mouse on a Red Hat system. There are two modes of operation:
interactive and
kickstart.
In interactivemode the user is prompted for the type of mouseattached to the system. Some of this information may be automaticallyprobed and filled in. If --expertis specified then the user will have an opportunity to override theprobed values.
Inkickstartmode, Xconfigurator will try to autoprobe all required information,non-interactively. Mice on a PS/2 type port will be found automatically.Serial mice will usually be found, but the type of serial mouse cannotnormally be determined. The user can use the <mousetype> optionto force mouseconfig to use a particular mouse type. Runningmouseconfig --help will list the valid mouse types.
OPTIONS
- --help
- Print a usage message on standard output and exit successfully.Gives complete lists of the mouse types recognized.
--backDisplay a back button on the first screen rather then the normal cancelbutton.
- --expert
- Gives the user manual control over some parameters which areautomatically satisfied in normal use.
- --noprobe
- No probing will be done to find attached mice devices.
- --kickstart
- Tells Xconfigurator to run in non-interactive mode, filling inas much information as posible by probing for a mouse. If nomouse is found, a Microsoft mouse on /dev/cua0 is assumed.
- --device <port>
- Specifies the hardware port to use in kickstart mode.One of "cua0", "cua1", "cua2", "cua3", or "psaux" normally.mouseconfig should normally be able to probe this information.
- --emulthree
- Specifies that X11 should cause a two button mouse to emulate a threebutton mouse when both buttons are pressed together. Use only fortwo button mice.
- <mousetype>
- Specifies the mouse type to use in kickstart mode.PS/2 type mice are probed automatically, but if a non-Microsoftcompatible serial mouse is connected then this argument is required.mouseconfig --help will list the valid types of mice.
RETURN CODES
mouseconfig returns 0 on success, 2 on error, and 1 if the usercancelled the program (by using either the
Cancel or
Backbutton).
FILES
- /etc/sysconfig/mouse
- Specifies the mouse type, and whether 3 button emulation should be used.
- /dev/mouse
- Symlink pointing to the device file for the mouse.
NOTES
If the mouse type if changed using mouseconfig, Xconfiguratorshould be rerun to translate these changed into the X11 configuration.
