Abs input #98

Closed santucco closed 4 years ago

santucco commented 4 years ago

feature-abs-pointer from a backend should meet with request-abs-pointer from a frontend to start conversation. Also width and height of pointer device can be specified and applied to backend, at least for abs pointer devices

Could you please describe the use-case for this?

santucco commented 4 years ago

My frontend can work with both rel and abs pointer devices. So 'request-abs-pointer' is specified to 1. According to the current logic the backend will produce XENKBD_TYPE_POS events (depends on real pointer device). I would like to have a possibility to control this behaviour by advertising of abs capability via 'feature-abs-pointer'. If request-abs-pointer meets with feature-abs-pointer, the backend produces abs events, otherwise doesn't produce. Potentially it can be useful for devices produce both types of events simultaneously.

Also two other parameters are applied, width and height. I made it in an attempt to limit my touchpad so that it produces coordinates limited by these parameters. Actually, it ignores these parameters and produced very big coordinates anyway.

@santucco could you please rebase?
