.SH NAME
mouse_setscale \- sets a mouse scale factor
.SH SYNOPSIS

.B "#include <vgamouse.h>"

.BI "void mouse_setscale(int " s );

.SH DESCRIPTION
This routine sets the scale factor between the motion
reported by the mouse and the size of one pixel.  The larger
the scale is, the slower the mouse cursor appears to move.
The scale may be set to any non-zero integer.  Negative
scales result in flipped axes.  Currently, there is no
support for scale factors between 0 and 1 which would make
the mouse appear faster than usual.

If this routine is never called,
.RI scale " s"
defaults to 1.
