- NAME
-
- LogiMouse - Mouse Driver for LogiTech serial mice
- (eg TrackMan trackball)
-
- SYNOPSIS
-
- LogiMouse [-d <serial.device>][-u <unit>][-q]
- [-m <qualifier>|<Button>][-r <qualifier>|<Button>]
- [-l <qualifier>|<Button>][-3]
-
- DESCRIPTION
-
- A few months ago i bought a LogiTech Trackman TrackBall (which if you
- haven't seen one is the most wonderfully shaped trackball known to man
- (well to me..) your hand just flops over the thing... soo cumfy!), as
- i have a serial card, spare serial ports where not a problem.
-
- I chearfully grabbed sermouse from Aminet, only to find out that my
- TrackMan doesn't actually use either of the protocols sermouse does..
-
- So i wrote my own driver.
-
- Also i wanted to swap the middle button and the right button so that
- got incorperated.
-
- To install the thing just put a line in your user-startup like
-
- sys:bin/boot/LogiMouse >NIL: -u2 -mRSH
-
- You can alter the settings whist the driver is running, just run the
- driver again with the new settings and it'll send the info to the first
- instance of the driver and exit (only one instance of the driver can be
- running)
-
- OPTIONS
-
- -d <serial.device> (defaults to serial.device)
- -u <unit> (defaults to 0)
- -q quit
- -m <qualifier>|<Button> middle mouse buttion = qual. (ie shift, alt etc)/button
- -r <qualifier>|<Button> right mouse buttion = qual. (ie shift, alt etc)/button
- -l <qualifier>|<Button> lift mouse buttion = qual. (ie shift, alt etc)/button
- -3 Reset mouse to std 3 buttons
-
- QUALIFIERS
-
- R Right Button
- M Middle Button
- L Left Button
-

-
- EXAMPLE
-
- sys:bin/boot/LogiMouse >NIL: -u2 -mRSH
-
- - uses unit 2 of the serial.device, middle button is mapped
- to right shift (only have to specify enough of the qualifier to
- differentiate between it and other qualifiers)
-
- LogiMouse >NIL: -lR -rL -mRC
-
- - use serial.device, unit 0, swap left and right mouse buttons, map
- middle mouse button to right control key
-
- LogiMouse -q
-
- - Quit driver
-
- ERRORS
-
- If there are not enough resources for LogiMouse to run it will exit
- (this is not very likely - it doesn't exactly use much mem.)
-
- WARNING
-
- Remember: If the mouse driver is not running you cannot use your
- LogiTech mouse, for example the early startup screen, or canceling
- GURUs that have reset your Ami.
-
- BUGS/PROBLEMS
-
- DragIT Commodity refuses to work at all with my driver.
-
- (in 4 months of constant use this is the only problem i have found
- with the 'normal' functions of the mouse (ie 3 buttons))
-
- The Qualifiers (discluding swapping buttons and having shift as a
- button) should be considered as a bonus.. ie wether they'll work with
- a program depends on how the program reads the information from the
- system.
-
- (personally i'm just using my mouse as a standard 3 button mouse at the
- moment, using yak by Gaƫl Marziou and Philippe Bastiani to use the
- middle button as shift and also as window to front/back)
-
- Feel free to email me with bug-reports/suggestions etc (i may even
- act upon them)
-
- SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
-
- Needs OS 2.04 or higher.
- Spare serial port.
- LogiTech Mouse that uses the 'MouseMan' protocol, eg the TrackMan trackball
-
- (if you have a LogiTech Mouse that won't work with sermouse/optmouse or any
- of the other serial drivers around, then it prob. uses this protocol
- (maybe.. ;-) ))
