* man: add a warning that wheel emu inertia must be set and it isn't inertiaPeter Hutterer2016-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | First, it's not actually inertia, it's simply the scroll distance, yay for the misnomer. And it needs to be set for any device that is more fine-grained than a mouse, especially absolute devices. For example the VirtualBox device has an abs max of 32767, so a simple motion may have a delta of to 2000 units and that results in 200 scroll events. That's a bit excessive.

* Add "Resolution" option for mice to the evdev driverThomas Hindoe Paaboel Andersen2015-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | It can be used to scale the resolution of a mouse to that of a 1000 DPI mouse. This can be useful to make high resolution mice less sensitive without turning off acceleration. The target of 1000 DPI is used as the same default is used in libinput. If the option is not set no scaling will be done. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88134 Signed-off-by: Thomas Hindoe Paaboel Andersen <phomes@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net>

* Add configuration options for smooth scrolling.Peter De Wachter2013-10-21
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch creates three new xorg.conf options, VertScrollDelta, HorizScrollDelta and DialDelta, which adjust the sensitivity of smooth scrolling. These options take a positive integer, default value is 1.

* Add option TypeName (#62831)Peter Hutterer2013-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | evdev tries to assign the right XI 1.x type-name based on various device capabilities. In some cases, that fails. e.g. the Mionix Naos 5000 mouse looks like a keyboard. And we assign a keyboard type in that case since there are plenty of keyboards that also advertise some axes or others. Add a new option TypeName to allow for system-wide configuration of such devices in a quirks file. This can also be used to address #55867 X.Org Bug 62831 <http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62831> Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net>
* Export device node as property.Peter Hutterer2011-05-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | There is currently no mapping between XI devices and physical devices other than what can be extracted by parsing the Xorg logfile. Add new property "Device Node" to the driver to export the open device file. Server 1.11 and later standardises on this property name. The client is responsible for detecting if the device is on the same host and converting the data into a more useful format (e.g. sysfs path). Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net>

* Disable middle mouse button emulation by default.Peter Hutterer2010-05-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The AUTO feature was the default, MB emulation was on until a middle mouse button was pressed. MB emulation however results in a delay of the first press, causing minor annoyances to the users and being generally confusing when the behaviour before a button press is different to after a button pres. Disable the feature by default instead. There's not a lot of two-button mice around anymore though and the inability to detect two-button mice makes for non-deterministic detection of when the emulation should be on. Middle button emulation can be enabled with a configuration snippet: Section "InputClass" Identifier "middle button emulation" MatchIsPointer "on" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on" EndSection Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net> Acked-by: Daniel Stone <daniel@fooishbar.org>

* emuMB: default to disabled mouse button emulation for touchscreens.Oliver McFadden2010-02-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because touchscreens only use one button (see EvdevProcessKeyEvent()) EvdevMBEmuFilterEvent() never calls EvdevMBEmuEnable(..., FALSE) to disable emulation. This results in touchscreen devices incurring a delay of Emulate3Timeout (typically 50 ms.) Default to MBEMU_DISABLED for touchscreen devices (unless overwritten by Xorg.conf.)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement XSetDeviceMode request handler for evdev. Devices with absolute axes can be switched in relative mode or absolute mode. Devices with relative axes can be switched only in relative mode. Other devices return BadMatch, cause they have no valuators and don't report motion events.

* Remove the reopen timer logic.Peter Hutterer2009-10-20
| | | | | | | | | This logic was needed in older kernels that sometimes gave error messages after coming back from resume (2.6.27 release kernels).

* Convert IgnoreAbsolute/RelativeAxes options into trinary state.Peter Hutterer2009-10-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Xen Virtual Pointer device exports both absolute and relative axes from the kernel device. Which coordinates are used is a run-time decision and depends on the host-specific configuration. 0a3657d2ee62f4086e9687218cb33835ba61a0b3 broke these devices, and they are now unusable out-of-the-box as there is no configuration to cover them. This patch converts the IgnoreAbsoluteAxes and the IgnoreRelativeAxes configuration options into a trinary state. 1. If unset, configure the device as normal by trying to guess the right axis setup. 2. If set to true, ignore the specific axis type completely (except for wheel events). 3. If set to false, explicitly 'unignore' the axis type, alwas configuring it if it is present on the device. This setting introduces seemingly buggy behaviour (see Bug 21832) 1. and 2. replicate the current driver behaviour. The result of 3. is that is that if a device has absolute axes and the options set to false, both axes will be initialized (absolute last to get clipping right). This requires axis labelling priorty to switch from relative first to absolute first. Relative events are forwarded into the server through the absolute axes, the server scales this into the device absolute range and everyone is happy.

* evdev: Support the "Calibration" string option.Oliver McFadden2009-10-13

* Add explicit options to ignore relative or absolute axes.Peter Hutterer2009-10-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The X server cannot deal with devices that have both relative and absolute axes. Evdev tries to guess wich axes to ignore given the device type and disables absolute axes for mice and relative axes for tablets, touchscreens and touchpad. This guess is sometimes wrong and causes exitus felis domesticae parvulae. Two new configuration options are provided to explicitly allow ignoring an axis. Mouse wheel axes are exempt and will work even if relative axes are ignored. No property, this option must be set in the configuration.

* Add support for run-time calibration.Peter Hutterer2008-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | Some devices require run-time axis calibration. We can't change the min/max ranges once we've initialised the valuator structs though, so in-driver run-time calibration is required. If the property is set, the driver scales from the calibrated range to the values reported to the X server (which then may scale to screen coordinates). If the property is not set (i.e. zero items) no scaling is performed.

* Attempt to re-open devices on read errors.Peter Hutterer2008-09-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | Coming back from resume may leave us with a file descriptor that can be opened but fails on the first read (ENODEV). In this case, try to open the device until it becomes available or until the predefined count expires. To be safe, we cache the information from the device and compare against it when we re-open. This way we ensure that if the topology changes under us, we don't open a completely different device. If a device has changed, we disable it. Adds option "ReopenAttempts" <int>
