vga_setmousesupport(3)						Svgalib User Manual					    vga_setmousesupport(3)

NAME
vga_setmousesupport - enable mouse support SYNOPSIS
#include <vga.h> void vga_setmousesupport(int stat); DESCRIPTION
Set mouse support; 0 disables (default), 1 enabled. If enabled, the mouse is set up for screen resolution after a mode set and you can use the various mouse_ functions. You can also use mouse_init(3) the mouse in more flexibility. However, usually this is not the deal of the application. The mouse is configured in /etc/vga/libvga.config and usually the application will just want to use that. The mousetest(6), eventtest(6), and spin(6) demos make use of the mouse functions. SEE ALSO

mouse_init(3)							Svgalib User Manual						     mouse_init(3)

NAME
mouse_init, mouse_init_return_fd - specifically initialize a mouse SYNOPSIS
#include <vgamouse.h> int mouse_init(char *dev, int type, int samplerate); int mouse_init_return_fd(char *dev, int type, int samplerate); DESCRIPTION
These routines can be used to open the mouse manually, ignoring the mouse types or devices specified in the config file. dev is the name of the mouse device (defaults to /dev_mouse). samplerate may be one MOUSE_DEFAULTSAMPLERATE(150) or any other value. Probably it is in Hz. type is one of the types which are listed already in vga_getmousetype(3). If these routines are used it is not necessary to call vga_setmousesupport(3), but it's probably better to not use these and use vga_set- mousesupport(3) instead. The return_fd version returns the file descriptor of the mouse device to allow you to do further tricks with the mouse (but the filehandle may change during a VC switch). The other version just returns 0 if successful. Both return -1 on error. SEE ALSO
