OK. Â I think something like this is needed, though. Â If you have an
application that actually "knows" about the dial axis that's fine, but
in most cases you'll want to do some sort of mapping. Â I don't see any
mention of the mouse scroll wheel in the new evdev man page; how is
that managed?
Read the description for EmulateWheel in evdev(4).
Ah OK - I don't have that in my (Debian packaged) man evdev, so I guess
it's a recent addition. My man page claims to be version 2.0.8.
EmulateWheel is what I have for my real mouse so it should do what I
need. (I do sometimes wonder whether more apps now work with a
non-emulated wheel; when I scroll Firefox with my emulated wheel (or
the Powermate on the old machine) it would take ages to catch up. I
should try it. Maybe I need some hack so that some apps see the
emulated events and others see axis events.)
Event: time 1240909109.149823, type 2 (Relative), code 7 (Dial), value -1

Event: time 1240909109.357821, type 2 (Relative), code 7 (Dial), value 1
Is -1 turning the dial to the left and +1 turning the dial to the right?
Yes.
Cheers, Phil.
