3.3. Mouse support in XFree86

XFree86 includes support for PnP mice (see also Mouse Support in XFree86). The current LynxOS TTY device driver doesn't allow the necessary manipulation of the RTS line and therefore the support for PnP mice has been disabled for LynxOS.

Starting with LynxOS x86 2.4.0 LynxOS includes a PS/2 mouse driver. This driver does protocol conversion and requires to specify the mouse type as Microsoft regardless of real mouse type. In some cases you won't have all mouse buttons supported.

The PS/2 mouse driver included in LynxOS x86 3.0.1 patch #XXX does not perform protocol conversion and requires to set the mouse type to PS/2. This driver will also support the extended PS/2 mouse types.
