Hi,
I now (finally...) took some time to add support for the Linux
input event interface (aka evdev, aka /dev/input/eventX) to LibGII.
This is accomplished with the input-linux-evdev inputlib. It takes
one optional argument; the device to use (default is /dev/input/event0)
Currently supported events are:
* EV_KEY - generates evPtrButton for mice and evKey events for
keyboards and other devices. For keyboards there is no
keymapping yet, so the label field will be set according to
standard US-mapping and the sym field will always be
identical to the label field. This is however enough to
fully support XGGI and most LibGGI-based applications.
* EV_REL - generates evPtrRelative or evValRelative events as
apropriate.
* EV_ABS - generates evPtrAbsolute events.
This means that most USB HID devices and all devices supported by the
Linux Input Driver Project (see
http://www.suse.cz/development/input/hardware.html)
are now supported by LibGII (with proper kernel support obviously).
