LPT and Mouse IO Question.

[CNewbie]

is there some code for linux that is about the sme as this.
i know this wont work in linux, but i really need access to the rate and direction of the mouse.
i know some kind of open("/dev/mouse&quot may work, but i dont know how to code it.
i cant use ncurses, or alllegro,

#include <dos.h>

void get_mouse_mickeys()
{
//get mickey x and y
i.x.ax=11;
int86(0x33,&i,&o);
mickeyx=o.x.cx;
mickeyy=o.x.dx;
if (mickeyx>32000)mickeyx=(0-(65536-mickeyx));
if (mickeyy>32000)mickeyy=(0-(65536-mickeyy));

//get x and y cords and button state
i.x.ax=3;
int86(0x33,&i,&o);
mouse_x=o.x.cx;
mouse_y=o.x.dx;
mouse_b= o.x.bx;
}


The last question i have is how to properly output binary numbers out the paralell port using linux equivalent to this


#define LPT 0x0378
#define LCD_DATA_ADDRESS LPT+0
#define LCD_CONTROL_ADDRESS LPT+2
static void LCD_WriteControl (unsigned char data)
{
outp(LCD_CONTROL_ADDRESS,0x03); //E2=0, RS=0, R/W=0, E=0
waits();
outp(LCD_DATA_ADDRESS,data);
waits();
outp(LCD_CONTROL_ADDRESS,0x02); //E2=0, RS=0, R/W=0, E=1
waits();
outp(LCD_CONTROL_ADDRESS,0x03); //E2=0, RS=0, R/W=0, E=0
waits();
outp(LCD_CONTROL_ADDRESS,0x01); //E2=0, RS=0, R/W=1, E=0
}



i have tried outportb, outs, outb.

but they just crash.

if someone could post a little sample of code showing /dev/mouse or an asm code snipit example on how to access the paralell port.

please i have looked everywhere, and the all use ncurses or say to use lcdproc as a server, but i cant use any of those do to space requirements.
