hi,

i'm trying to write serial mouse driver.

if any one has code or some links of serial mose driver .please post it on this thread

hi,

i've posted this message for almost 2 weeks.

is there anyone who has worked on serial mouse driver?????????

This tone of command in your lines is not welcome.

as for your question: try www.osdever.net. or the quicklinkz section

hi,

sorry i never meant that but i'll take care of my words in future.

i've recovered some burried links from this forum, but they're all about PS2 mice rather than pure 'serial' mice (those that had a trapezoidal connector on COM1)

but i guess this is not what you want

basically you need 2 types of docs. One on how to program the serial ports and the second one on the format of data send by serial mice.

I guess everyone else is using PS/2 mice...?

gr8 work.

why don't u post the links that u used for development of this code.so that i can understand serial communicatin and data transmitted by serial mouse.

you should read the "how to ask questions the smart way" document before people begin to feel offended by your style. I know there's no offending intention, but some other people may not feel it as i do ...

I suppose that if Chris didn't post the documents you required, it's either because he doesn't have such links easily accessible <joke "not really Chris's way of doing things"> or that you're smart enough to locate google?"serial mouse programming" yourself ...</joke>

I suggest you make a quick trip through the Operating System Resource Center (see .:QuickLinkz:., again) and check how the UART is programmed (iirc, this is the chip that sends/receives bytes through COMx interfaces, thus the chip you'll have to program to communicate with serial mice).

Chris also might have some hefty books at hands: H. P. Messmer: The Indispensable Hardware Book, or. Guillaume: The Undocumented PC. These volumes are full of nifty details about hardware - the UART too.

offending intention ... *snort* maybe that lad's not capable of the english language like other guys are so that he can use it in a distinguished manner -he seems not to be placing dots but *logs*.

Well, Offendi Yoda *bg*, your's is the patience.:p

Stay safe.

PS. @chris giese: Aye, I for my part have done some ps/2-mouse coding.

fortunately enough BI is there (even if lazy to make sure i am not becoming offending :p

actualy i'm not so good in english.so communication is problem for me.still i try my best to choose the right words.

This is the spec sheet I used for the serial chip:
http://www.national.com/pf/PC/PC16550D.html

There are different serial chips; older and newer.

Protocol for Microsoft (2-button) serial mouse:

It still took some experimentation and trial-and-error
to get working code.

And I wouldn't be so hard on shahzad -- we were all
newbies once. It was easy for me to find those links,
but I already knew what to look for.

all those good links have now been integrated into the .:QuickLinkz:. page for later reference. Thanks for asking the question, shazad.
