MOUSE.SYS

This file loads the device driver for a pointing device like a mouse or trackball.

Versions
Provides support for your mouse. You need also the POINTDD.SYS installed. DEVICE=\OS2\BOOT\MOUSE.SYS Lets you use a mouse or track ball. This line also identifies the device dependent type of mouse you have and which COM port it is on. In this case, the device dependent mouse driver is loaded in your OS/2 CONFIG.SYS through a standard "DEVICE=" line, before the MOUSE.SYS driver is loaded, and then on the MOUSE.SYS line there is the parameter "TYPE=", with a reference to the device name of the device. QSIZE is a number from 1 to 100 which indicates how many mouse actions are to be saved when you execute mouse actions faster than your system can handle them. There is also a RELAXED parameter which you would place after QSIZE. It can be used with any mouse when the pointer is jumping randomly about the screen. IBM does not suggest you use this parameter unless you are experiencing this problem.

ATTENTION: Together with an device independent Mouse (e.g. a IBM PS/2 Mouse) NO PARAMETERS are needed.

The supported device dependent types are:
 * PCLOGIC$ for Genius, Logitech, PC Mouse Systems, Driver: PCLOGIC.SYS
 * MSBUS$ for Microsoft Bus Mouse, Driver: NONE
 * MSINP$ for Microsoft InPort, Driver: NONE
 * VISION$ for Visi-On: Driver: VISION.SYS
 * ELOMOU$ for ELO Touchscreen Driver: MONMOU0x.SYS (x=1, 2 or 3)
 * SUMMA$ for SUMMA Tablet Driver: SUMMA.SYS
 * GRAPHIR$ for WACOM Tablet Driver: GRAPHIRE.SYS


 * Note:The MOUSE.SYS statement must come before COM.SYS, but after POINTDD.SYS, because COM.SYS will take over any unused COM port. If COM.SYS takes over the COM ports before MOUSE.SYS is loaded, MOUSE.SYS will not have any COM ports available, thus no mouse support.


 * Tip: If you have a so called scroll-mouse (e.g. from IBM, or Logitech) get the scrollms.exe package from the OS/2 Device Driver Pack. Or use the scroll mouse driver, that uses a second wheel horizontal not only vertical.
 * If you want to have a 'scrolling-feature' with normal mice there is the hots11.zip package by Samuel Audet. See also AMOUSE.SYS
 * If you want to have animated mouse pointers (very nice); Christian Langanke has developed a version to get as AMPTR101.ZIP.
