24                  ble. Supports four buttons for mice like the Logitech Mouse‐
25                  Man+.
26
27              ·   MouseSystems,  msc  :  MouseSystems compatible (used in most
28                  3-button mice).
29

32              ·   mm, MMSeries :    MM series mice.
33
34              ·   Sun : Sun mice. The protocol is the same as  'msc'  protocol
35                  except it used only 3 bytes per packet.
36
37              ·   MouseMan, mman :  MouseMan protocol.
38
39              ·   BusMouse, bm : Non-PS/2 busmice.

42                  attempted).
43
44              ·   ps2, PS/2 : PS/2 mice (most non-serial mice use this  proto‐
45                  col)
46
47              ·   imps2,  IMPS/2  : PS/2 IntelliMouse and compatible (not USB,
48                  see lnxusb for that.)
49
50              ·   mmanps2, MouseManPlusPS/2 : PS/2 Logitech MouseMan+ and com‐
51                  patible.
52
53              Most  of  the strings supported by GPM, SVGAlib and XFree can be
54              specified.  If you find one that isn't, please report.
55
56              The  special  value  auto  tells   input-linux-mouse   to   read
57              ~/.ggi/input/linux-mouse,      and      if      that      fails,
58              $sysconfdir/ggi/input/linux-mouse.  If none of the two files are
59              found,  input-linux-mouse tries to auto-detect the mouse, and as
60              a  last  resort  uses  the  mouse   information   specified   in
61              /etc/vga/libvga.config.
62
63
64       file   The   file  to  read  mouse  protocol  data  from;  defaults  to

72              greater than 0.
73
74
75       dtr    Turns  off  DTR  if  set  to  0; turns DTR on if set to a number
76              greater than 0.
