Description

Configure a PS2 Mouse.

and the mouse device name (e.g., m320) when prompted.
If the configuration is successful, you are returned to the main menu.
Select D to display the updated configuration.
S-
Configure a Serial Mouse.
Enter the terminal device (e.g., console) that will use the PS2 mouse,
and the serial device name (e.g., tty00, tty01) when prompted.
If the configuration is successful, you are returned to the main menu.
Select D to display the updated configuration.
U-

Enter the terminal device (e.g., console) that will use the USB mouse.
If the USB mouse is detected and configured successfully, you are returned
to the main menu.
Select D to display the updated configuration.
N-

T-
Test the mouse configured for the current processes' terminal, if any.
R-
Remove a configured mouse from a display.
Enter the terminal device (e.g., console) from which the mouse will
be removed when prompted.
E-
Exit mouseadmin.
Options
The following options are provided primarily for use within installation
and other shell scripts.
-a-
assign mouse device (PS2 BUS tty00 s0tty0 . . . ) to terminal
(console s0vt00 . . . ).
-b-
do not validate for BUS mouse in system configuration.
(This option should only be used within install scripts.)
-d-
delete terminal assignment.
-i-
specify an interrupt vector for a BUS mouse.
When using the -i option mouse must be BUS.
-l-
list mouse/display assignments.
-n-
build mouse/display pair table without downloading to driver.
(This option should only be used within install scripts.)
-t-
test currently configured mouse. If the mouse is there and detected
the return will be ``0''; otherwise the return will be ``1''
or higher.
-v-
verbose output. mouseadmin actively searches the PS/2
port and the serial ports for a mouse, and then reports what it has found.
It does not look for bus mice. This option is mainly for use within install
scripts.
Examples
mouseadmin -a console PS2
mouseadmin -i 5 -a console BUS
mouseadmin -a s0vt00 tty00
mouseadmin -a s0vt00 tty01
