I am new to using DirectFB. I have been able to get basic programs working
doing output. However I can't get mouse and keyboard input working.
- My PC has a PS2 mouse. Do I need an entry /dev/mouse to point to the
device
file for this? (The device file is /dev/input/mice)
(The FAQ says I need /dev/mouse if I'm using a serial mouse. What about
a PS2 mouse?)
If I need to specify the protocol in ~/.directfbrc, what protocol
should I
use? The X11 config has:
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
What is the corresponding DirectFB mouse protocol?
(The options are ms|ms3|mouseman|mousesystems)
- I can't get keyboard input working, and have no idea what i'm doing wrong.
Can someone explain how directfb reads the keyboard? Does it use a
/dev/ttyx file?
I do dfb->GetInputDevice (dfb, DIDID_KEYBOARD, &keyboard), and then
keyboard->GetKeyState (keyboard, DIKI_XXXX, &state) - but don't get any
keys pressed. (This is the technique shown in tutorial example "Moving a
sprite with the cursory keys")
- what do I have to do to get a mouse cursor on the screen? If the mouse is
correctly configured, will the mouse cursor show up automagically? A
mouse X11 style 'X' shaped
cursor does display - I presume that when I get the mouse input working,
it will control this
cursor.
Regards
Colin
