>> My evdev version is xf86-input-evdev-2.4.99.901. I still feel puzzled: 1. But why XEV can not get the right position?I test XEV in my ubuntu10.04, I can see the mouse's position changing. How does xserver's event flows? e.g: kernel->dev/input/eventX -->read and analyzed by evdev-->WM-->app ??? 2. I google the my question, they say if we support touchscreen, we'd install tslib or evtouch, I dont know what's relation between these component, Can evdev handle the touch screen independently? or it may depends on the other such as tslib or anything else... 3. I can not access your blog, I dont know the information below meas what? Does it tell me, evdev has been removed, it can not work, or still handle the input events? > > > [ 59.855] (EE) ioctl EVIOCGNAME failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device > > > [ 59.856] (II) UnloadModule: "evdev" > > > [ 59.856] (EE) PreInit returned NULL for "ADS7846 Touchscreen" \ 4. can you paste your article, send to me? I try a lot , but still can not access. I very appreciate what you did!

If it works, can you bisect to it, I don't see anything in the evtest stream that should make this device not work. <div class="im"> </div></blockquote><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> <div class="im"> > I guess there's some place to transform the event as user want in Xorg. > evtest may read from the /dev/input/event3 directly, it's ok.
