NAME tiqmouse − integrated mouse device interface
SYNOPSIS tiqmouse:l
AVAILABILITY x86
DESCRIPTION Some notebook computers (notably the Texas Instruments 4000E) use a nonstandard
PS/2-style QuickPort mouse interface that resembles but is not compatible with a PS/2
keyboard mouse port. The tiqmouse driver provides support for this alternate mouse
interface. It allows applications to obtain information about the mouse’s movements and
the status of its buttons.
Programs are able to read directly from the device. The character-special device file,
/dev/tiqmouse, is used to access the mouse device. The data returned corresponds to the
byte sequences as definedin the IBM PS/2 Technical Reference Manual.
The tiqmouse driver recovers from accidental disconnection of the mouse. Detection of
mouse reconnection is confirmed by a message on the system console. If the mouse is
replaced and the message is not generated within 1 second, disconnect and reconnect the
mouse until the message is noted.
