I don't personally have a need for this. What I do need is a stable identifier (which xinput ids aren't) to be able to apply per-device transformation properties for multihead touchscreen setups - E.G. the EVIOCGPHYS stuff in the link above. For the use case of this, see my earlier patch: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.freedesktop.xorg.devel/7302 -- Bye, Peter Korsgaard _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
