NAME

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <vgamouse.h>
10
11       int mouse_init(char *dev, int type, int samplerate);
12       int mouse_init_return_fd(char *dev, int type, int samplerate);

DESCRIPTION

16       These  routines  can  be  used to open the mouse manually, ignoring the
17       mouse types or devices specified in the config file.
18
19       dev is the name of the mouse device (defaults to /dev_mouse).
20
21       samplerate may be one MOUSE_DEFAULTSAMPLERATE(150) or any other  value.
22       Probably it is in Hz.
23
24       type  is  one  of  the  types which are listed already in vga_getmouse‐
25       type(3).
26
27       If these routines are used it is not necessary to call vga_setmousesup‐
28       port(3), but it's probably better to not use these and use vga_setmous‐
29       esupport(3) instead.
30
31       The return_fd version returns the file descriptor of the  mouse  device
32       to  allow  you  to do further tricks with the mouse (but the filehandle
33       may change during a VC switch). The other version  just  returns  0  if
34       successful.  Both return -1 on error.
