Firstly, the Z-axis relates to a little blue button on the top of the
mouse that is very much like the cursor in the center of a thinkpad laptop
(i.e. IBM producing a microsoft intellimouse type device with their own
patents). I think the output suggests that it actually records movement in
two axis which suggests that it ought to be used for controlling screen
scroll-bars?!?
Here is the output :
This is for the NetVista mouse using evtest.c -- which doesn't seem to
respond unless the PC is rebooted with the device in (which causes the USB
detection to take a LONG time to finish).

Now... for the more challenging UC-Logic SuperPen (SP)...
Basically... nowt.
I've tried every permutation - including leaving the SP as the only USB
device plugged in and rebooting the PC.(I know it shouldn't make a
difference but it seemed to for the mouse)...
Both evtest.c and read-event.c can't detect anything, including 'clicks'
on the buttons of the stylus...Damn!!!
I should point out that the SP does work in windows - it isn't faulty-,
and this is the last remaining reason I have for continuing to use the
spawn of Gates!
What should I do now?!?!? With respect to driving the SP - humour my naive
stupidity please :) - I assume that if it supplies absolute coordinates
(which, granted, it isn't even doing at the moment ;) all the driver does
is to divide the 'screen' dimensions by the absolute coordinates of the
device to get a relative position for the cursor? Is there a standard
driver for such devices? Stupid questions probably...
Many thanks for your patience.
