3.4. Bus mouse drivers

Starting with LynxOS AT 2.4.0 LynxOS includes a PS/2 mouse driver. Currently this driver is not fully supported by XFree86 (you'll probably have to specify the mouse type as Microsoft regardless of real mouse type and in some cases you won't have all mouse buttons supported). /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/etc/BM-Lynx.shar contains a LynxOS port of the Linux bus mouse drivers. To install the drivers unpack the shar archive

    # cd /
    # bash /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/etc/BM-Lynx.shar
  

and follow the notes in /BMOUSE.Readme for further installation and configuration notes.

The XFree86 PS/2 mouse driver works also with MetroLink X 2.3.3.1 as shipped with LynxOS AT 2.4.0 unless you have the LynxOS patch 000055-00 installed.
