NAME
       mouseconfig - configure mouse for use under Linux

SYNOPSIS
       mouseconfig [--help] [--expert] [--noprobe] [--kickstart]
                   [--device device] [--emulthree] [mousetype]

DESCRIPTION
       mouseconfig  sets up the necessary configuration files and
       file links to use a mouse on a Red Hat system.  There  are
       two modes of operation: interactive and kickstart.

       In  interactive  mode the user is prompted for the type of
       mouse attached to the system. Some of this information may
       be  automatically  probed  and  filled  in. If --expert is
       specified then the user will have an opportunity to  over-
       ride the probed values.

       In kickstart mode, Xconfigurator will try to autoprobe all
       required information, non-interactively.  Mice on  a  PS/2
       type  port  will be found automatically.  Serial mice will
       usually be found, but the type of serial mouse cannot nor-
       mally  be  determined.  The  user  can use the <<mousetype>>
       option to force mouseconfig  to  use  a  particular  mouse
       type. Running mouseconfig --help will list the valid mouse
       types.

   OPTIONS
       --help Print a usage message on standard output  and  exit
              successfully.   Gives  complete  lists of the mouse
              types recognized.
              --back Display a back button on  the  first  screen
              rather then the normal cancel button.

       --expert
              Gives  the user manual control over some parameters
              which are automatically satisfied in normal use.

       --noprobe
              No probing will  be  done  to  find  attached  mice
              devices.

       --kickstart
              Tells Xconfigurator to run in non-interactive mode,
              filling in as much information as posible by  prob-
              ing  for a mouse. If no mouse is found, a Microsoft
              mouse on /dev/cua0 is assumed.

       --device &lt;port>
              Specifies the hardware port  to  use  in  kickstart
              mode.   One  of  "cua0", "cua1", "cua2", "cua3", or
              "psaux" normally.  mouseconfig should  normally  be
              able to probe this information.

       --emulthree
              Specifies  that X11 should cause a two button mouse
              to emulate a three button mouse when  both  buttons
              are pressed together. Use only for two button mice.

       &lt;mousetype>
              Specifies the mouse type to use in kickstart  mode.
              PS/2  type  mice are probed automatically, but if a
              non-Microsoft compatible serial mouse is  connected
              then this argument is required.  mouseconfig --help
              will list the valid types of mice.

RETURN CODES
       mouseconfig returns 0 on success, 2 on error, and 1 if the
       user  cancelled the program (by using either the Cancel or
       Back button).

FILES
       /etc/sysconfig/mouse
                           Specifies the mouse type, and  whether
                           3 button emulation should be used.

       /dev/mouse          Symlink  pointing  to  the device file
                           for the mouse.
NOTES
       If the mouse type if changed using mouseconfig,  Xconfigu-
       rator  should be rerun to translate these changed into the
       X11 configuration.
