Reading from the /dev/mouse

RichardS · 08-14-2007, 09:03 AM

Hi All,

Does anyone know how to interpret the return values from:

Code:

fd = open ("/dev/mouse", O_RDONLY);
read (fd, &iData, 1);

How does one interrpret the values in iData?

thanks,
Rich

You could start with the source files in /usr/src/linux/drivers/input/mouse. Also, look at the sources for the gpm program.
