If you want to make an evdev device, look at the uinput interface http://thiemonge.org/getting-started-with-uinput (unless you want to make a kernel driver). Alternatively, I think you can rather easily make a small lircd client which calls xdotool (or uses libxdo itself). http://www.lirc.org/html/lircd.html http://www.semicomplete.com/projects/xdotool/xdotool.xhtml#mouse_commands http://www.semicomplete.com/files/xdotool/docs/html/xdo_8h.html#aa15b8082764bbd889545c30364f18145 Regards, Tormod >> >> Thank You! >> >> johnea > > Surely someone at least knows if this is possible? > > The sharing of your expertise is very greatly appreciated... > > johnea _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: arch...@mail-archive.com
