- I wrote this Logitech bus mouse driver for ISC 2.x a long time ago, before
- ISC provided one in their distribution. (The last date of modification of
- the driver source is May 29, 1989). Back in Dec '89 my system suffered a
- major disk crash resulting in the lose of my entire /usr/local directory
- tree. It was pure luck that I happened to have an extra copy of the driver
- source elsewhere. Any/all Makefiles, install scripts, and miscellaneousness
- notes were unfortunately lost. Have never taken the time to recreate them.
-
- So, ... you're totally on your own. Here's a quick summary of the files
- enclosed, (the following assumes an ISC directory strcture for installing
- device drivers, don't know if ESIX follows the same conventions):
-
- lmouse.c -- Driver source. After compiled the object file needs
- to be placed in /etc/conf/pack.d/lmouse/Driver.o
-
- lmouse.node -- Copy this file to /etc/conf/node.d/lmouse
-
- lmouse.sdevice -- Copy this file to /etc/conf/sdevice.d/lmouse
-
- mt.c and mt2.c -- Test programs.
-
- Finally, you'll need to add the following line to the
- /etc/conf/kconfig.d/description file, (note that the fields are separated
- by tabs not spaces):
-
- lmouse 0 19 io lmouse My Logitech Bus Mouse Driver
-
- Good luck and happy hacking...

- Addendum for ESIX Rev. D 26 Jan 91
-
- This driver works for ESIX Rev. D with no problem as long as the X
- window system is not installed. This is because the driver for the mouse
- will conflict with the driver for X. Since I am working on Roell's X11R4
- server, then I it won't matter once I get that server up and running since
- I will be able to use the bus mouse with that server. ESIX has no
- kconfig.d directory so ignore the description file. The only info not given
- is what to put in /etc/conf/cf.d/mdevice. Here is the line that I put in
- mine and it seems to work:
-
- lmouse Iioc icH logm 0 23 1 1 -1
-
- Good luck and email with questions or problems. Special thanks to Mark,
- who did 99% of the work.
