Last year, Pete (haven’t seen him in the newsgroups for quite
a while, is he still with QSSL?) was talking about making devi-hirun
seperated from Photon. I need a Mouse driver (say PS2 mouse) for
the XFree86. Currently, we can only use a serial mouse (thanks to
the serial port driver). “use devi-hirun” on RTP6.1 seems to imply
I can run it without Photon. I tried playing with some options and
it did created a /dev/devi/mouse0 for my PS2 mouse, but unfortunately,
when I start my XFree86 server, the mouse doesn’t quite work. The
pointer wants to stick to the edge of the screen. I saw this
mis-behavior in linux in the past when I mis configed the mouse
protocol. My question is is the devi-hirun’s support for non-PHoton
completed? or are you still working on it? It will be useful to
have a generic mouse driver so that we can use mouse in non-photon
environment: text console (GPM? use mouse in console based editor?)
or X Window.
I use devi-hirun all the time without Photon, and I haven’t had any major
problems with it. Make sure that you have completely exited from Photon
before running devi-hirun again. Also, make sure that the
/dev/devi/mouse0 device does not exist before re-running devi-hirun, or
you will get strange behavior. If you don’t already have the Input DDK, I
would highly recommend it. You might want to post to
qdn.public.ddk.input, as this topic is more suitable for that ng.
