well, the problem here is that button and motion events are separate events and replaying an event only replays that event. The whole sequence is: <sigio handler> 1) driver submits scroll data as button event 2) server generates button and motion events 3) server adds events to event queue <back to normal event loop> 4) server gets next event from queue (button press) 5) client has passive grab on button press 6) client replays event (button press) 7) server sends event to next client goto 4, but now the event is the emulated scroll event i.e. the smooth scroll emulation is not done on-the-fly but rather at the event generation stage. so no, it's not possible to grab a button event and have that replay as smooth scroll event. sorry.
