Quite apart from Leonard's comment that his mouse is actually something different, there are mice that do precisely what is described above. I've got an ITAC trackball that does just this. They work by detecting RTS low (or was it DTR low? or both? the manual's someplace else) when the mouse is started. Check the XFree86 mouse code for details. Unfortunately, the 2.1.5 FreeBSD serial code seems to have a bug that prevents this autodetection from working (I've not tracked it down yet). --jh -- John Hood cgull@smoke.marlboro.vt.us Predictably, they all eventually wandered away, rubbing their bruises and brushing mud out of their hair. Some went off to work for the ESA, launching much smaller rockets into low orbits, while others elected to sit on their front porches drinking Jim Beam from the bottle and launching bottle rockets from the empties.
