This is the script:
while [ 1 ] ; do
out=`dd if=/dev/mouse bs=3c count=1`
... check the $out content ...
case $out in
..... ) execute command
esac
done
I only know that: the mouse driver send 3 chars to symbolize a
mouse event.
Here is attached a simple C program that read from /dev/mouse.
You only must implement a scancode parsing.
