|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides an interface to PS/2 auxiliary port mice within the
|
|
.Xr wscons 4
|
|
framework. Parent device in terms of the autoconfiguration framework is
|
|
.Xr pckbc 4 ,
|
|
the PC keyboard controller.
|
|
.Dq pms
|
|
is a generic driver which supports mice using common variants of the PS/2
|
|
protocol, including wheel mice of the
|
|
.Dq IntelliMouse
|
|
breed. Wheel movements are mapped to a third (z-) axis. The driver is
|
|
believed to work with both 3-button and 5-button mice with scroll wheels.
|
|
Mice which use other protocol extensions are not currently supported, but
|
|
might be if protocol documentation could be found.
|
|
Mouse related data are accessed by
|
|
.Xr wsmouse 4
|
|
devices.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver has been updated to attempt to renegotiate mouse protocol after seeing
|
|
suspicious or defective mouse protocol packets, or unusual delays in the
|
|
middle of a packet; this should improve the chances that a mouse will recover
|
|
after being switched away or reset (for instance, by a console switch).

|
.Sh AUTHORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver was originally written by Christopher G. Demetriou. The changes to
|
|
merge the
|
|
.Dq IntelliMouse
|
|
protocol in, and reset the mouse in the event of protocol problems, were
|
|
contributed by Peter Seebach. Special thanks to Ray Trent, at Synaptics,
|
|
who contributed valuable insight into how to identify bogus mouse data.
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
It is possible for the driver to mistakenly negotiate the non-scroll-wheel
|
|
protocol, after which it is unlikely to recover until the device is closed
|
|
and reopened.
