XAED(8)

NAME
Xaed - X window system XAED implementation notes

DESCRIPTION

The AED hardware is monochrome. The usable size is 800 lines by 1024 pixels/line.

The cursor support is currently limited to 16x16. This is a software restriction not a hardware.

To use the async mouse (PC Mouse from Mouse Systems) define the following environment variables:
   MOUSETYPE = MSCMOUSE
   MOUSENAME = device name of async port (ie. /dev/tty0)
When MOUSENAME is not set the default value /dev/msaed is used and the MOUSETYPE variable is ignored. Therefore, the mouse is assumed to be the planar mouse.

At this time the mouse acceleration and threshold values can be set but are ignored.

The following devices are required to start this server:
crw-rw-rw- 1 root 0, 65 Oct 2 11:22 /dev/aed
crw-rw-rw- 1 root 15, 1 Oct 2 11:22 /dev/msaed
crw-rw-rw- 1 root 13, 0 Oct 2 11:22 /dev/bus
