.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 XfXconfXfileXX
|
|
.It Fl d Ar device
|
|
specifies the device file to be used as the
|
|
.Xr wsmouse 4
|
|
device.
|
|
Defaults to
|
|
.Pa /dev/wsmouse .
|
|
.It Fl f Ar conf_file
|
|

|
|
Defaults to
|
|
.Pa /etc/wsmoused.conf .
|

do not fork in the background (for debugging purposes).

.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.
