Yinon Burgansky a12dc6eba3 filter: differentiate scroll wheel from button scrolling to fix wheel speed
Commit 94b7836456 ("filter: support accelerating high-resolution
scroll wheel events") introduced a regression where high-res scroll
wheel events were incorrectly normalized by DPI. Mice with non-default
DPI (e.g., Logitech G502 at 2400 DPI) had their scroll wheel speed
reduced by the DPI ratio (1000/2400), resulting in 2-3x slower
scrolling.

The "noop" filter functions were actually performing DPI normalization
or applying a constant acceleration factor, which is appropriate for
button scrolling but incorrect for scroll wheels that have their own
units.

Add a filter_scroll_type enum (CONTINOUS, WHEEL, FINGER to match the
public events) passed through the filter_scroll interface. Update all
filter implementations to skip acceleration and normalization for wheel
events while maintaining existing behavior for button scrolling and
touchpad scrolling.

The custom acceleration profile continues to accelerate high-res wheel
events as designed.

Fixes: 94b7836456 ("filter: support accelerating high-resolution scroll wheel events")

Closes: #1212

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 to minimize the amount of custom input code the user of libinput needs 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

Documentation explaining features available in libinput is available here.

This includes the FAQ and the instructions on reporting bugs.
