|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
daemon provides mouse support in console, allowing copying and pasting
|
|
text. The left mouse button is used to select text when held and you
|
|
use the right button to paste it in the active console.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Supported options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width XXXnumberX
|
|
.It Fl d Ar device
|
|
specifies which driver to use as the mouse device. It defaults to
|
|
.Pa /dev/wsmouse .
|
|
.It Fl f Ar fifo
|
|
is used to specify an optional fifo where to redirect all mouse events
|
|
(even if they have been processed). By default, no fifo is used.
|
|
.It Fl n
|
|
do not fork in the background (for debugging purposes).
|
|
.It Fl X Ar number
|
|
tells
|
|
.Nm
|
|
which virtual console holds the X server (if any). The argument
|
|
specifies the console number (the same found in
|
|
.Pa /dev/ttyE? ,
|
|
where the ? appears).
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will stop processing events when entering this console and will
|
|
continue its job when you return to any other terminal.
|
|
.It Fl x Ar number
|
|
x slowdown. This positive integer specifies how many events in the x
|
|
direction should be ignored before changing the current column. It
|
|
defaults to 0.
|
|
.It Fl y Ar number
|
|
y slowdown. This positive integer specifies how many events in the y
|
|
direction should be ignored before changing the current row. It
|
|
defaults to 3.

.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
The following are just a few examples of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
and its functionality.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl wsmoused -X 4
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Starts the mouse dameon, telling it that ttyE4 holds a X server.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl wsmoused -d /dev/wsmouse1 -f /tmp/mousefifo
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Uses
|
|
.Pa /dev/wsmouse1
|
|
device as the mouse and
|
|
.Pa /tmp/mousefifo
|
|
as the fifo where all mouse data is redirected.
|
|
.Sh SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
|
|
Be ABSOLUTELY sure that
|
|
.Pa /dev/ttyE*
|
|
devices have restrictive permissions as the mouse uses some functions
|
|
that could allow terminal snooping if improperly set.
|
|
.Sh NOTES
|
|
The mouse cursor is only visible for a short time. It will disappear
|
|
when you stop moving it to avoid console corruption if there is any
|
|
output while it is visible.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Cd options WSDISPLAY_CHARFUNCS
|
|
is needed in your kernel configuration file in
|
|
order to get mouse console support.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When you return from the X screen to another terminal there is a small
|
|
time delay until the mouse works again. The delay is needed to allow X
|
|
to close the mouse device properly.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It's needed that you change the getty program which runs in the first
|
|
virtual terminal to use
|
|
.Pa /dev/ttyE0
|
|
instead of
|
|
.Pa /dev/console .
|
|
If you do not change this, you may have problems.
|
|
You need to edit
|
|
.Pa /etc/ttys
|
|
and
|
|
.Pa /etc/wscons.conf
|
|
to make this change.
