Is it correct that there are now two changes for developers. The first one is 
that the EVENT type has changed from EV_REL (0x02) to EV_ABS (0x03). This 
would mean in the python sample code of the wiki the change would be:

from:

if type == 2:
        if code == 0:
                x = value
        if code == 1:
                y = value
        if code == 2:
                z = value

to:

if type == 3:
        if code == 0:
                x = value
        if code == 1:
                y = value
        if code == 2:
                z = value

The second change is that if no new (y,x, or z) value is reported the old one 
should be taken.

I think that is what most developers want. It would be great if someone could 
show  a small sample code how this works.
