swc doesn't see touchpad devices #5

Closed n3rdopolis closed 10 years ago

n3rdopolis commented 10 years ago

swc sees mouse input from normal mice, but not laptop touchpads. I think touchpad devices report themselves in udev as ID_INPUT_TOUCHPAD, and not ID_INPUT_MOUSE

would it be useful to bootstrap libinput over to this project? Right now it uses evdev which is similar to one option that weston uses. Otherwise, I dont't see why we coundn't patch the evdev-touchpad from the weston project to swc.

libinput is an interesting project, but since it has a hard dependency on libudev, I have chosen to avoid it for now.

However, basic touchpad support shouldn't be too difficult to implement, and is on the TODO list.

would you welcome help? i,e. if i get this one working on my own, would you accept a pull request?
