Date: Thu, 8 Apr 1993 18:22:02 -0400 Organization: Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA Lines: 9 Message-ID: <ofl_K_j0Bwx20kvXMI@transarc.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: po2.andrew.cmu.edu I am looking for a driver to talk to a mouse on a PS/2-compatible mouse port (the kind that talks to the system via the keyboard controller). I want to make it look like a serial mouse (i.e., /dev/mouse looks like a tty-ish device, and passes back the bytes that a serial mouse would pass back), since I want to use it with XFree86 which apparently only knows about serial Logitech and Mouse Systems mice. Has anyone done this? If not, I'll probably end up doing it myself.... --Pat.
