[PATCH 2/5] Input: Add smooth-scrolling support to GetPointerEvents

Peter Hutterer peter.hutterer at who-t.net
Thu Sep 8 21:19:26 PDT 2011


From: Daniel Stone <daniel at fooishbar.org>

For scroll wheel support, we used to send buttons 4/5 and 6/7 for
horizontal/vertical positive/negative scroll events.  For touchpads, we
really want more fine-grained scroll values.  GetPointerEvents now
accepts both old-school scroll button presses, and new-style scroll axis
events, while emitting both types of events to support both old and new
clients.
