DragonFlyBSD

:Hello,
:
:I've ran into problems trying to get all the buttons of my Logitech MX 310 USB
:mouse to work on DragonFly 1.4-RELEASE with Xorg 6.9.
:
:I had the following lines in my xorg.conf:
: Option "Protocol" "auto"
: Option "Device" "/dev/ums0"
:...
:
:Of course, xorg.conf needs to be modified to use this protocol:
: Option "Protocol" "sysmouse"
: Option "Device" "/dev/ums0"
:
:Now the wheel and the extra buttons (to go back/forward in a browser) all work,
:which makes me a happy DFBSD user !
:I don't know if this patch is the right way to fix the problem (IIRC, I didn't
:manage to fix it using moused), but it works for me, so it may be useful to
:someone else.
:
:Regards,

I don't know if changing the default mode for ums would break other
    things or not.  Could sysmouse be modified to change UMS's default mode
    instead?  It's probably an ioctl() of some sot.

Indeed, ums provides a MOUSE_SETMODE ioctl for that.

I've just stumbled upon an undocumented switch of moused, -l, which should let
the user force the level (mode) of the device. It appears neither in the man
page, nor in usage. Anyway, I couldn't get it to work without problems: in
level 0, moused displays an error about an unappropriate ioctl(), and in level
1, the mouse is painfully slow in X.org.

I'm a little bit lost with all that: I can't get moused to work correctly with
my mouse, and I have to modify ums(4) to use the right mode by default.
I guess I'll try to write a little oneliner to set it using ioctl(), which will
be loaded at startup...

See if that works and if it does and there is no equivalent moused
    option, we can add a new option to moused to do the ioctl.  Or, rather,
    if you make the modification to moused and submit the patch we'll commit
    it.  I'd prefer that over changing the device driver's default mode.

are you sure that you are using the latest Xorg version from pkgsrc?
There recently was a fix concerning moused.

moused works perfectly with my 3 button/wheel usb mouse here. what does

moused -d -f -p /dev/ums0

output?

definitely. but i think moused should already support the best mode
possible.

Well actually, I've just upgraded to the very latest version of xorg-server,
6.9.0nb5 (I was using 6.9.0nb3), and the problem have disappeared... I'm
sincerely sorry for making Matt and you lose your time with this.

I did read Joerg's message of Feb 1st about a "sysmouse issue" fixed in the
current package set, which I was using, but since I still experienced a problem,
I thought this issue was unrelated... Next time, I'll check the version more
carefully.

The output was always perfectly correct, but the mouse behavior under X.org
wasn't until the upgrade...

moused: received char 0x87
moused: received char 0x0
moused: received char 0x0
moused: received char 0x0
moused: received char 0x0
moused: received char 0x0
moused: received char 0x0
moused: received char 0x7f
moused: assembled full packet (len 8) 87,0,0,0,0,0,0,7f
moused: tv: 1140198616 381342
moused: flags:00000010 buttons:00000000 obuttons:00000010
moused: activity : buttons 0x00000000 dx 0 dy 0 dz 0
moused: mstate⁴->count:1
moused: button 5 count 0

Just in case someone is bugged by moused for some reason, here is the little
piece of code I was using to make full use of my mouse.

8<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <machine/mouse.h>

void fail(char *s) {
printf("%s\n",s);
exit(-1);
}

int main() {
int fd, level;
if ((fd = open("/dev/ums0", O_RDONLY))==-1)
fail("unable to open mouse device");
if (ioctl(fd, MOUSE_GETLEVEL, &level)==-1)
fail("unable to get mouse device level");
level = level ? 0 : 1;
if (ioctl(fd, MOUSE_SETLEVEL, &level)==-1)
fail("unable to set mouse device level");
printf("mouse device level set to: %d\n",level);
close(fd);
return 0;
}
