6.6. ASCII MieMouse (serial, PS/2)

This mouse appears to be OEM from Genius. Although its shape is quite different, it works like Genius NetMouse Pro. This mouse has a "knob" which is used like a wheel or a roller. The "knob" action is recognized as the Z axis motion.

MieMouse supports the PnP COM device specification. When used as a serial mouse, it is compatible with MS IntelliMouse.

To use this mouse as a serial device:

	Protocol "Auto" or "IntelliMouse"
	Device   "/dev/xxxx" (where xxxx is a serial port)

To use this mouse as the PS/2 device and the OS supports PS/2 mouse initialization:

	Protocol "NetMousePS/2"
	Device   "/dev/xxxx"  (where xxxx is the PS/2 mouse device)

To use this mouse as the PS/2 device but the OS does not support PS/2 mouse initialization (the knob and the third button won't work):

	Protocol "PS/2"
	Device   "/dev/xxxx"  (where xxxx is the PS/2 mouse device)

To use this mouse as the PS/2 device and the OS supports automatic PS/2 mouse detection:
