Thanks erik, though I now only have access to the qemu machine (I'm not
not home) I think using kbmap will help allot by creating a map in
/sys/lib/kbmap/ to replace the start key with the middle mouse button and
maybe I'll even add in something for the mouse wheels (I see mouse-csa
and mouse-fn are a common solutions to laptop ;-) ).
I'm still hoping for someone to guide me through on debugging the mouse,
any takers ? Again, I know its not a hardware issue but rather a driver
issue...
P.S: As far as I can gather, the system register the serial port as
/dev/some-device then a second driver interprets the signal to a second
/dev/some-mouse-device and then rio does the rest, So its a matter of
identifying which devices are responsible to what, reading out the
information (cat won't work, I need to monitor the info in a more
"lively" fashion), identifying which part fails, and then making the
necessary modifications (code & compile ? script ? definitions file ?), I
just don't have the skillz... help... :-)
Thanks,
