Description-en: X.Org X server -- mouse input driver
This package provides the driver for mouse input devices. It is mainly used
on non-Linux operating systems such as BSD and Solaris. Most
configurations on Linux will use evdev, the kernel's event delivery
mechanism, and do not need this package.
.
See the inputattach package if your mouse is not automatically
detected by the Linux kernel, for example because it is a serial mouse.
.
More information about X.Org can be found at:

.
This package is built from the X.org xf86-input-mouse driver module.
