Description

The SCO OpenServer(TM) system supports mice attached directly to controller cards on the bus, mice attached to standard serial ports, PS/2 keyboard mice, and USB mice and trackballs. The command:

button press 3 3

 mouse event      physical button
 button press 1          1
 button press 2          2
 button press 3          3

Wheel mice (keyboard/PS2 and serial) are supported with these default mappings:

mouse event physical button
button press 1 1
button press 2 2
button press 3 3
wheel forward 7
wheel back 8

 mouse event      physical button

 button press 3          3
