Did you already try the option "/o" to disable the mouse wheel
detection? Some BIOSes seem to have a bug here. They first let
ctmouse detect the wheel, but then fail when trying to activate
the wheel-extended data protocol. Version 2.1b3 supports /O but
older 2.1 variants might be without /o support. By the way, did
you also try version 2.0 already? :-)

Re: [Freedos-devel] Help: TLINK commandline getting too long

2007-12-31 Thread Aitor Santamaría
The problem is with TLINK, not TLIB.

Both TMAKE and FREECOM complain that after unrolling the variables,
the commandline is too long and the command cannot be executed.

Thus my question if there's something to do similar to the Watcom
linker or to TLIB to use an external file.

Re: [Freedos-devel] New Mouse Driver Development...

2007-12-31 Thread Ladislav Lacina
Great! CuteMouse is good driver but is very slow in protected mode. F.e when
playing Doom and you control it with mouse, it is jerky. (with another
drivers is it OK). So test it also from this point of view.
Why did you choose the 3.0 version of TP? Because it compiles into COM?
Why not, but the disadvatage is that you can't use the assembler code. TP
3.0 understands only machine code.



> Hello everybody! CuteMouse project is dead; I can develop new mouse driver
for the FreeDOS project. This driver, named "FreeMouse", I started today.
Please reply to me, I want that you help me writing correct autodetection of
used mouse type, and handle the PS/2/COM/MSMouse's. I do not understand the
architecture of the CuteMouse, which is written in assembler, but I write
FreeMouse in the TurboPascal v3.0. Previously big thanks for all of this
case!

Well maybe you did not wait long enough for a reply from Nagy Daniel:
Current CuteMouse 2.1 development is done by me :-). So CuteMouse is
not dead, but you are welcome to help :-).

> correct autodetection of used mouse type, and handle the

I must admit that the CuteMouse source code is ugly but on the
other hand it is small because it is written in Assembler :-).

Current version 2.1b3 is here:

www.coli.uni-saarland.de/~eric/ctmouse21b3.zip

What I was planning to do next was to make the COM handling
automatic: Maybe remove Mouse Systems (Genius) protocol or
at least make it no supported by default. The current version
has an option /Y ignore Mouse Systems, and most people should
use it, because you cannot detect whether you talk to one of
those mice or just to an empty serial port in a nice way ;-).
So my plan is to make that "ignore Mouse Systems" the default.

Then, only two main COM protocols are left: Logitech mouse and
Microsoft Mouse protocol. My plan would be to change the code
of "MSLTproc" to automatically decide for each packet which of
the two protocols the packet is. Then you have hotplugging for
COM mice :-). You also have a chance for hotplugging of PS2
mice already with 2.1, if you use the /O option to disable the
wheel part (which is hard to re-bootstrap on the fly). Note that
PS2 is not officially meant to support hotplugging, you might
even damage old hardware by doing it?

As this COM protocol autodecision is a bit tricky, you may want
to write a Pascal version of it first, so I can port it to ASM
for CuteMouse :-).

Eric

 Read protocol.txt from CuteMouse package.

 It not hard. And you may ask me, if you not understand something.

 One of reasons for CuteMouse was small memory footprint. You not get
small memory footprint in high level languages.

 I think, you do something wrong. May you show quote from your FILE.TXT
and which error gives TLIB?

 Firstly, you should explain your problem.

CuteMouse possibly is not as dead as you might believe. But even if it is, 
it works at least and therefore you should first tell us what your driver is 
to make better than CuteMouse.
