98 | <para>A list of which protocol values are known can be found by running

99 | <command>gpm -t -help</command>. Your <envar>MDEVICE</envar> setting depends on

100 | which type of mouse you have. For example,
|
---|
101 | <filename>/dev/ttyS0</filename> for a serial mouse (on Windows this is
|
---|
102 | COM1), <filename>/dev/input/mice</filename> is often used for
|
---|
103 | <acronym>USB</acronym> mice
|
---|
104 | and <filename>/dev/psaux</filename> for PS2 mice. It is normally
|
---|
105 | thought not a good idea to link <filename>/dev/mouse</filename> to the relevant device, but
|
---|
106 | instead to reference it directly.</para>
