Removing a mouse device

The procedure given here for removing a mouse device cannot be done from the Desktop; that is, you cannot run the mouseadmin command from a terminal window when you want to remove a mouse. If you try, the mouse will be reported as busy, and you will not be permitted to proceed. You must log in as root in a console terminal.

To remove a mouse device, use the following procedure:

1. Log in as root.

2. At the system prompt, type mouseadmin.

3. Select ``R'' for Remove a mouse from the menu.

4. A table listing the mouse assignments is displayed. The following message is displayed after the table:
   

   Enter the display terminal from which the mouse will be removed,
   or strike the ENTER key to return to the main menu.
   
   Display terminal:
   

   At the prompt, enter the display terminal of the mouse you want to remove.

5. To cancel the changes you have entered so far, type ``E'' for Exit. The mouse configuration will be unchanged, and you will then exit from the mouseadmin program.
