Re: sysmouse/tty weirdness

Well, fix the program first. When you print out the

from 0 to total + readcnt.
that's on purpose so I see the buffered bytes stacking up.
The if (total >= sizetab[level]) ... needs to be
while (total >= sizetab[level]), otherwise if enough
mouse movements build up you will overflow your buffer.
yea right, though that didn't happen yet (with a 50 bytes buffer).
It should still have worked reasonably well, but
perhaps fixing those two issues will make the problem
more obvious.
it just got weirder... for SOME reason if i start it while X has the
focus (X also using sysmouse, mouse works there, although without scroll
wheel), it will display correct output. running a hd /dev/sysmouse will
also nicely print along. Note that this works when running from xterm
as well when running via ssh.
Now comes the funny part: switch to a console vty. still works! also
another instance will work correctly... until I quit all running
showmouse/hexdump and rerun them... all in/out going totally wrong
again... until (no, you don't believe this) I switch to X. As soon as
I switch to X again everything works again. So X is doing *something*
which makes sysmouse output correct data.
I guess I'm not far from the problem, probably some initialization which
isn't documented or such (but I know it worked before!)
cheers
