Indeed, ums provides a MOUSE_SETMODE ioctl for that. I've just stumbled upon an undocumented switch of moused, -l, which should let the user force the level (mode) of the device. It appears neither in the man page, nor in usage. Anyway, I couldn't get it to work without problems: in level 0, moused displays an error about an unappropriate ioctl(), and in level 1, the mouse is painfully slow in X.org. I'm a little bit lost with all that: I can't get moused to work correctly with my mouse, and I have to modify ums(4) to use the right mode by default. I guess I'll try to write a little oneliner to set it using ioctl(), which will be loaded at startup... Regards, Laurent Sartran
