I have to set up a very simple application which should talk to the outside workd and make use of a mouse and TEXT display for the user interface -- no keyboard, no graphics. I have the choice of using an old PC with a serial line, and write some code to the PC; or, I can get a terminal and hook it to the serial line of a FreeBSD system, and either putting the mouse on a separate line, or in ''parallel'' with the terminal (a bit of electronics doesn't scare me; however, speed might need to be reduced) . At this point, I would need some code which allows me to track the mouse, and report actions to the application program. I think such a thing might be of more general use than for my application, so I was wondering if something was already written for this purpose, or if there was any source available (e.g. the mouse driver code ?) to help in the work.
