nanogui: Thread: Mouse is dead

Hi, All:
          After Installing microwindows, I want to build it for running on
the desktop which has no X11 system, 
          please tell me how to configure the Mouse and keyboard.
          What's difference between TTYKBD and SCANKBD?
          What's difference betwwen GPMMOUSE and SERMOUSE?
          When I installed  redhat7.1, mouse parameter is set to Generic
Mouse(PS/2), and can run smoothly in console mode.
but when I run nano-X and demo application, the mouse is dead. other
characters are normal, my kernel has been rebuild for supporting framebuffer.
           Thank you very much!

: What's difference between TTYKBD and SCANKBD?

SCANKBD is used to link a keyboard driver that 
knows the difference between keyup and keydown events,
as well as all function and other keys,
and reports them separately.  This allows complete
control of the keyboard, for use in games, etc.
TTYKBD uses a very simple ascii-only return values,
and won't return function key values correctly.

: What's difference betwwen GPMMOUSE and SERMOUSE?

GPMMOUSE uses the gpm program to get mouse events, 
SERMOUSE uses the serial port or ps/2 port to get 
events, and decodes them internal to the mouse driver,
drivers/mou_ser.c.  If you run GPM, you must use the
-R parameter: 'gpm -R -t ps2'

Regards,

Greg
