Peter Hutterer e43f9da9ec evdev: allow button scrolling on the L/R button with middle emulation active
This worked before, but triggered a negative timer bug. When one of the
physical L/R buttons is pressed with middle button emulation enabled, the
flow is:
1) phys left button down
2) middle button state machine discards events, sets timer
3) timer expires or button is released
4) middle button state machine sends button press with time from 1)
5) emulation code sees button press, sets timer for scroll emulation
6) timer logs bug because (original-button-time + timeout) is less than now()

That log_bug_libinput() warning fails the tests but works otherwise.

Allow this situation explicitly, on some devices we only have left and right
buttons and no scroll wheel, so having middle button emulation *and*
button-scroll working is useful.

libinput
========

libinput is a library that handles input devices for display servers and other
applications that need to directly deal with input devices.

It provides device detection, device handling, input device event processing
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
pointer events from touchpads, pointer acceleration, etc.

libinput originates from
[weston](http://cgit.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/), the Wayland reference
compositor.

Architecture
------------

libinput is not used directly by applications, rather it is used by the
xf86-input-libinput X.Org driver or wayland compositors. The typical
software stack for a system running Wayland is:

@dotfile libinput-stack-wayland.gv

Where the Wayland compositor may be Weston, mutter, KWin, etc. Note that
Wayland encourages the use of toolkits, so the Wayland client (your
application) does not usually talk directly to the compositor but rather
employs a toolkit (e.g. GTK) to do so.

The simplified software stack for a system running X.Org is:

@dotfile libinput-stack-xorg.gv

Again, on a modern system the application does not usually talk directly to
the X server using Xlib but rather employs a toolkit to do so.

Reporting Bugs
--------------

Bugs can be filed in the libinput component of Wayland:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Wayland&component=libinput

Where possible, please provide an
[evemu](http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Evemu/) recording of the input
device and/or the event sequence in question.

See @ref reporting_bugs for more info.

Examples of how to use libinput are the debugging tools in the libinput
repository. Developers are encouraged to look at those tools for a
real-world (yet simple) example on how to use libinput.

- A commandline debugging tool: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/wayland/libinput/tree/tools/event-debug.c
- A GTK application that draws cursor/touch/tablet positions: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/wayland/libinput/tree/tools/event-gui.c
