So, why not read /dev/wsmouse or /dev/wsmouse0, as I suggested?

(For the keyboard, you might get what you want by kicking the tty
into raw mode.  I can't remember if you get keypresses for qualifiers
like Shift, though, in raw mode.  If you need key events for qualifiers,
you might need to do something different even from a tty.)

I think that you already found it.  /dev/wsmouse or /dev/wsmouse0.


Maybe I'm not understanding something, though.  Can you explain why
/dev/wsmouse is NOT what you want?  It sounds like exactly what you
need, to me.

Good luck, and take care.


P.S. Please format your lines to about 70 to 80 characters in width,
rather than running long lines.  It helps make your message more legible
in some contexts.  Thanks.
