Hi, sorry for late response.

See: > > http://www.x10.com/products/x10_mk19a.htm > >for details on this product. > > The patch supports using the X10 Mouse Remote in both stand-alone and >pass-through configurations, so you can plug your mouse and remote into the >same serial port, use the mouse for X, and use the remote for other apps >like Fxtv. > > The mouse events are channeled through the syscons/sysmouse I/F like >normal, and the remote buttons are "syphoned off" to a UNIX-domain stream >socket (defined as _PATH_MOUSEREMOTE in <machine/mouse.h>) for a >remote-aware app to grab and use. > > Hope you find this useful. > >Randall I have looked at your patch and X10's web site. I know Amacio has already committed the change to the source tree. But, I would like to know if we can make `moused' to detect the device automatically. I understand the receiver of this device can be attached to either a seial port or the PS/2 mouse port. Do you know if the device supports PnP COM device standard? What if you start `moused' like the following when you connect it to a serial port? What does it print? moused -d -i all -p /dev/cuaa0 Have you ever tried to connect the receiver to the PS/2 mouse port? If so, would you show us the output from `dmesg' after booting the system with the `-v' option at the `boot:' prompt?
