This is a more flexible approach than adding a model flag and the C code to just call libevdev_disable_event_code(). There's a risk users will think this is is a configuration API but there are some devices out there (e.g. the Microsoft Sculpt mouse) that need a more generic solution. Case in point: the Sculpt mouse insists on holding BTN_SIDE down at all times. We cannot ship any quirks for that device because we only have the receiver's generic VID/PID. So a local override is required, but we might as well make that one generic enough to catch other devices too in the future. Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net> |

libinput
libinput is a library that provides a full input stack for display servers and other applications that need to handle input devices provided by the kernel.
libinput provides device detection, event handling and abstraction so minimize the amount of custom input code the user of libinput need to provide the common set of functionality that users expect. Input event processing includes scaling touch coordinates, generating relative pointer events from touchpads, pointer acceleration, etc.
User documentation
