Using a synaptic touchpad, the linux input system delivers ABS_X and 
ABS_Y values: this is the input_event received

$16 = {time = {tv_sec = 1163514971, tv_usec = 190822}, type = 3, code = 
0, value = 2899}
(gdb) p *devt

this is the DFBInputEvent the above linux_input event gets translated 
into and that gets dispatched by the event thread

$22 = {clazz = DFEC_INPUT, type = DIET_AXISMOTION, device_id = 1, flags 
= 3, timestamp = {
     tv_sec = 1163514971, tv_usec = 190822}, key_code = -1, key_id = 
4294967295,
   key_symbol = 4294967295, modifiers = 4294967295, locks = 4294967295, 
button = DIBI_LEFT,
   buttons = DIBM_LEFT, axis = DIAI_X, axisabs = 2899, axisrel = 
-1212997877}

Does anyone see anything wrong in this mapping ? should i look somewhere 
else?

cheers

Attilio
