Sometimes it may be desirable to remap physical middle button
to something else and use emulation instead. The emulation is
however hardcoded to emulate physical button 2, so the emulated
button gets remapped together with the physical one. This patch
adds the Emulate3Button configuration option to allow for user
selection of the emulated button number and a configuration
like this:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Middle button emulation config"
MatchProduct ".... some device ..."
MatchDriver "evdev"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on"
Option "Emulate3Button" "9"
EndSection

First, it's not actually inertia, it's simply the scroll distance, yay for the
misnomer.
And it needs to be set for any device that is more fine-grained than a
mouse, especially absolute devices. For example the VirtualBox device has an
abs max of 32767, so a simple motion may have a delta of to 2000 units and
that results in 200 scroll events. That's a bit excessive.

It can be used to scale the resolution of a mouse to that of a 1000 DPI
mouse. This can be useful to make high resolution mice less sensitive
without turning off acceleration. The target of 1000 DPI is used as the
same default is used in libinput. If the option is not set no scaling
will be done.

evdev tries to assign the right XI 1.x type-name based on various device
capabilities. In some cases, that fails. e.g. the Mionix Naos 5000 mouse
looks like a keyboard. And we assign a keyboard type in that case since
there are plenty of keyboards that also advertise some axes or others.
Add a new option TypeName to allow for system-wide configuration of such
devices in a quirks file.
This can also be used to address #55867

There is currently no mapping between XI devices and physical devices other
than what can be extracted by parsing the Xorg logfile. Add new property
"Device Node" to the driver to export the open device file.
Server 1.11 and later standardises on this property name.
The client is responsible for detecting if the device is on the same host
and converting the data into a more useful format (e.g. sysfs path).

"Evdev Third Button Emulation Button" → phys button to be emulated
"Evdev Third Button Emulation Threshold" → move threshold before emulation
is cancelled

The AUTO feature was the default, MB emulation was on until a middle mouse
button was pressed. MB emulation however results in a delay of the first
press, causing minor annoyances to the users and being generally confusing
when the behaviour before a button press is different to after a button
pres.
Disable the feature by default instead. There's not a lot of two-button mice
around anymore though and the inability to detect two-button mice makes for
non-deterministic detection of when the emulation should be on.
Middle button emulation can be enabled with a configuration snippet:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "middle button emulation"
MatchIsPointer "on"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on"

Because touchscreens only use one button (see EvdevProcessKeyEvent())
EvdevMBEmuFilterEvent() never calls EvdevMBEmuEnable(..., FALSE) to
disable emulation. This results in touchscreen devices incurring a delay
of Emulate3Timeout (typically 50 ms.)
Default to MBEMU_DISABLED for touchscreen devices (unless overwritten by
Xorg.conf.)

Implement XSetDeviceMode request handler for evdev.
Devices with absolute axes can be switched in relative
mode or absolute mode. Devices with relative axes
can be switched only in relative mode. Other devices
return BadMatch, cause they have no valuators and
don't report motion events.
New option "Mode" force devices with absolute axes

The Xen Virtual Pointer device exports both absolute and relative axes from
the kernel device. Which coordinates are used is a run-time decision and
depends on the host-specific configuration.
0a3657d2ee broke these devices, and they are
now unusable out-of-the-box as there is no configuration to cover them.
This patch converts the IgnoreAbsoluteAxes and the IgnoreRelativeAxes
configuration options into a trinary state.
1. If unset, configure the device as normal by trying to guess the right
axis setup.
2. If set to true, ignore the specific axis type completely (except for
wheel events).
3. If set to false, explicitly 'unignore' the axis type, alwas configuring
it if it is present on the device. This setting introduces seemingly
buggy behaviour (see Bug 21832)
1. and 2. replicate the current driver behaviour.
The result of 3. is that is that if a device has absolute axes and the
options set to false, both axes will be initialized (absolute last to get
clipping right). This requires axis labelling priorty to switch from
relative first to absolute first.
Relative events are forwarded into the server through the absolute axes,
the server scales this into the device absolute range and everyone is happy.

Originally based on a patch from Daniel Stone, this commit allows for

The X server cannot deal with devices that have both relative and absolute
axes. Evdev tries to guess wich axes to ignore given the device type and
disables absolute axes for mice and relative axes for tablets, touchscreens
and touchpad. This guess is sometimes wrong and causes exitus felis
domesticae parvulae.
Two new configuration options are provided to explicitly allow ignoring an
axis. Mouse wheel axes are exempt and will work even if relative axes are
ignored. No property, this option must be set in the configuration.

Some devices require run-time axis calibration. We can't change the min/max
ranges once we've initialised the valuator structs though, so in-driver
run-time calibration is required.
If the property is set, the driver scales from the calibrated range to the
values reported to the X server (which then may scale to screen coordinates).
If the property is not set (i.e. zero items) no scaling is performed.
We now have the matching code in the server to set the console to RAW mode and
don't need to grab the devices anymore.
This is an updated version of e8534d47c8, which
was reverted in 6dc4199155.
Coming back from resume may leave us with a file descriptor that can be opened
but fails on the first read (ENODEV).
In this case, try to open the device until it becomes available or until the
predefined count expires. To be safe, we cache the information from the device
and compare against it when we re-open. This way we ensure that if the
topology changes under us, we don't open a completely different device. If a
device has changed, we disable it.
Adds option "ReopenAttempts" <int>
Support the EmulateWheelTimeout option as the mouse driver does.

Grabbing event devices stops in-kernel event forwarding, most notably rfkill
and the "Macintosh mouse button emulation" device. Let's not do that.
Option "GrabDevice" forces grabbing the device.
Devices may report middle mouse buttons even if they don't have one (PS/2
devices just don't know any better), so we can't be sure until we see the
event.
Large parts of the manpage were obsolete and confused users. Current state should reflect all available driver options. Some details are still missing.
* Use \- (ASCII dash) instead of - (hyphen), where appropriate
* Use a roff escape instead of a UTF-8 character.
* Consistent use of quote characters.
* Consistent use of typographic conventions:
italic "n" in place of "<N>" or "integer" or "number",
bold for option names, bit maps, etc.

basic absolute pointer support. Lots more, will require some user
