hi there,
I'v patched the linux evdev driver, following the sample code from the
evtest applet. There are a couple of questions, though. Some of the numbers
used (sizes, mostly), seem pretty arbitrary, and in the context of the
evdev conventions (from what I could gather) even wrong.
The stylus uses buttons and valuators, but these are not contigeously enumerated.
What should the 'num_axes' member report ? the number of (absolute) valuators ?
The highest id ? Further, valuator events seem to group a a set of valuator values
together (seems to make sense, since they are often bundled into the same device).
But why is 'values' 32 integers long ? The /dev/input/event0 driver supports more,
so we have to be prepared for a clash.
The fixes I applied are basically these:
* I set the 'num_axes' to the highest id that corresponds to a valuator
* I report valuator info for all valuators (range, number, long name)
So, at the given state of GGI I must ask: is anybody interested in these changes
at all ?
Regards, Stefan
