Well, your moused is really cool. Linux has something similar,
but not the cool mouse pointer ;-))
Some questions ... is the moused limited for use on ttyv0 only ?
Did you make the same experience like I, that moused doesn't
work properly, when it's started from /etc/rc.i386 just before
the getty's become active ?!
Look, if I do the following, it works...
/etc/sysconfig:
# Cut & Paste in system console via moused(1) and vidcontrol -m on
moused=YES
# mouse port {/dev/cuaa0, /dev/cuaa1}
mouseport=/dev/cuaa0
# mouse type {microsoft, mousesystems, mmseries, logitech, busmouse,
# mouseman, ps/2, mmhittab}
mousetype=mouseman
/etc/rc.i386:
# moused, cut & paste in syscons
if [ "X${mouse}" != X"NO" -a ${mousetype} -a ${mouseport} ]; then
echo -n ' moused'
vidcontrol -m on
( sleep 5; moused -p ${mouseport} -t ${mousetype}) &
fi
The sleep has to be so long to make sure, that moused is started
after getty on ttyv0 .... If you don't do this, moused doesn't
work and you only see the mousepointer in the upper left corner ;-)
