Generating a mouse button event....

[Robert Breitling]

Hello net.

I'm trying to generate a mouse button event in the video device driver
by using ioctl and QIOCKPCMD.  But, I am having a little trouble getting
the data for the command correct.  I don't have a source license to UNIX
so I can't look at the video driver code and the doc set we have here
has very little information on how to get at the driver, so I am sort
of stuck.

I need this to attempt to replace the mouse with a digitizing table that
has a puck with 4 buttons.  I would like my XSever to get mouse button
events from the digitizer instead of the mouse.

I've done a similar kind of thing before using VAXEN running VMS and using
a SYS$QIO call so it seems like it should be possible to do.

I'm using a DecStation 2100, running ULTRIX 4.1 and DecWindows (3.2?).

If anyone out there has any information for me on this subject, I would
greatly appreciate the assistance.

Thanks in advance.
