I'd like to experiment with some GUI libraries. What's the easiest way to read the mouse position and button status? |

This is not supported at the moment. ps2.asm in the kernel would need to be updated to enable the secondary port (AUX) and I'm guessing an additional interrupt handler would need to be created to pull the cursor direction and button presses. |

I've started work on this in the ps2_mouse branch of the kernel. |

@IanSeyler what is the best way to communicate that someone is already working on something? Glad you got something working with the mouse, so I will focus elsewhere. Just want to avoid duplication of effort in future. |

How are you progressing with your implementation? I know you were posting about it but wasn't sure where you were with it. Perhaps we can share notes on it since I'm still working out the best way on how to translate what the mouse is returning. Also, my initialization code is probably not complete. |

I'll be honest, I didn't have it working yet and was reading up on the subject. I had put together code for the initialization, interrupt, the buttons, tracking x, y, etc. but couldn't get it to call the code or generate interrupts when I moved the mouse. So I went back to the drawing board, so to speak. I'll take a look at how you got it working and see what I can salvage from mine that might be of value. |

PS/2 mouse support is in the main kernel branch now. Works fine in Bochs and QEMU. I haven't tested a physical system yet. TODO:

API call added. |
|
Interrupt callback added. |
|
The mouse demo has been updated to use the callback. @WEREMSOFT If you're still interested in this it is now working. |

Thank you, I was working a lot. The last part of the year was a little rough. I'll take a look. Yes, I'm still interested. |
