Similarly how wl_output is used to list outputs. Hi, there could. I just think a compositor-specific testing extension that not only enumerates input devices but allows creating and destroying them and forwarding input events would be used instead. No need for uinput and no need for access to kernel input devices either, making test setups much simpler to run. That reminds me of https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libei which might be better than a compositor home-brewn solution. Thanks, pq
