+moused mouse daemon
+
+ Usage:
+
+ moused [-3DPRcdfs] [-F rate] [-r resolution] [-S baudrate] [-C threshold]
+ [-m N=M] [-z target] [-t mousetype] -p port
+
+ Most common options are:
+
+ -3 Emulate the third (middle) button for 2-button mice. It is emu-
+ lated by pressing the left and right physical buttons simultane-
+ ously.
+ -p port Use port to communicate with the mouse.
+ -t type
+ microsoft Microsoft (2-button) serial mouse protocol.
+ intellimouse Microsoft IntelliMouse protocol. Genius Net-
+ Mouse, ASCII Mie Mouse, Logitech MouseMan+ and
+ FirstMouse+ use this protocol too.
+ mousesystems MouseSystems 5-byte protocol. 3-button mice may
+ use this protocol.
+ mmseries MM Series mouse protocol.
+ logitech Logitech mouse protocol. Note that this is for
+ old Logitech models. mouseman or intellimouse
+ should be specified for newer models.
+ mouseman Logitech MouseMan and TrackMan protocol. Some
+ 3-button mice may be compatible with this proto-
+ col. Note that MouseMan+ and FirstMouse+ use
+ intellimouse protocol rather than this one.
+ glidepoint ALPS GlidePoint protocol.
+ thinkingmouse Kensington ThinkingMouse protocol.
+ mmhittab Hitachi tablet protocol.
+
+3-button serial mice may have a small switch to choose between
+``MS'' and ``PC'', or ``2'' and ``3''. ``MS'' or ``2'' usually mean
+the microsoft protocol. ``PC'' or ``3'' will choose the
+mousesystems protocol.
+To test if the selected protocol type is correct for the given mouse, en-
+able the mouse pointer in the current virtual console:
+ vidcontrol -m on
+start the mouse daemon in the foreground mode:
+ moused -f -p _selected_port_ -t _selected_protocol_
+and see if the mouse pointer travels correctly according to the mouse
+movement. Then try cut & paste features by clicking the left, right and
+middle buttons. Type ^C to stop the command.
