Feature Request: Confirmation of selected Protocol #2

Closed acmelab68 closed 5 years ago

acmelab68 commented 6 years ago

Hello

UPDATE: Sorry for this - I see it's in there already, right the first line. You may delete this. The last section starting with "Btw: ..." may be of interest though. --- my mistake starts here --- I'd like to have a confirmation of the selected protocol at launch time on the command line. Reason: I've entered 'mousesystem' and was leaving out the trailing 's' at the end. The application started normally without indicating it was falling back to the default protocol - which is Microsoft mode. By selecting "Mouse Systems serial or bus mouse" in WIndows 3.11 WfW lead to a non working situation. This took me quite a while to figure out. --- my mistake ends here ---

Btw: The only working combination for Windows 3.11 WfW, Cute-Mouse and USB-Mouse-to-Serial was the "mousesystems" protocol. All permutations I've tried with Cutemouse v1.9, v.2.0 v2.1 and all the available protocols indicates, that only "mousesystems" is working in Windows 3.11 WfW.

Hi!

Hmm, you mean that only the "mousesystems" protocol works for you? All protocols should work, I used ctmouse to verify they all worked using the mousetst-tool. What does ctmouse tell you if you try to use the "microsoft" protocol? That's the one I'm using right now on my 486 (with the original Microsoft DOS-driver though).
