4.3. 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 a mouse type which doesn't match the real mouse type and in some cases lose mouse buttons). /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.
