Title mousetrap not finding Itac Systems trackball
Ref. No. QNX.000009268
Category(ies) Input Devices, Configuration
Issue We are converting a product from QNX2 to QNX4 and have encountered a problem with setting up the trackball.  It is on COM2 and running mouse systems protocol. We have been unable to get mousetrap to notice the device, and have tried various invocations of Mouse to no avail.

The QNX4 system is running 4.24 with all of the latest released software, no beta patches except the WTERM Win.dev fix.
Solution The utility inputtrap does not detect msys devices; however, Input does support them. Type "use Input" for details.  When running QWindows, Moust must be run on top of Input.  To do this:

# Mouse &
# Input -d/dev/mousein msys fd -d/dev/serX &
