Touchpad issues on Linux
I'm on a laptop, and found that the touchpad move event are associated with EV_ABS, so to receive "MoveEvent" I had to change listen(queue) at _nixmouse.py:
elif type == EV_REL:
to
elif type in (EV_REL, EV_ABS):
The coordinates look fine.
What looks difficult is to detect which button was pressed (all clicks are "LEFT"), 2-fingers scroll and discriminate the "moving" touch from the "click" touch. Can that info be hidden on EV_MSC events?
are you deal with the issue? I have the same problem, my process only receive EV_ABS, I cann't use EV_REL to get input_event
No. That's why I decided to use different libraries, the other being pyinput. Have a look at https://github.com/linux-man/inmon.
