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_getmouse‐
       type(3).

       If these routines are used it is not necessary to call vga_setmousesup‐
       port(3), but it's probably better to not use these and use vga_setmous‐
       esupport(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.

       It is very likely that both are at least to some extent are due to Harm
