First snapshot for evdev 2.2. Lots of cleanup, and - most notably - general axis/button support. For those running an X server from master, evdev will label axes and buttons for you. shortlog is a bit longer than it actually is, it includes a number of patches that were cherry-picked onto 2.1 and have since been released. Cheers, Peter Shortlog since xf86-input-evdev-2.1.0: Adam Jackson

Finally, we decided to go for a 1.0 release since 0.99.3 has been slumbering for too long. Notable improvements since the 0.15.2 release: - Improved device autoscaling. The device now reads the kernel's event interface and adjusts most parameters based on the information received. This gives a unified feel to all touchpads without the need for configuration. Of course, this

Bug #6750: Fixup for quirky Intel bridges. (Dave Airlie) Bug #6751: Use sysfs to read card ROMs if available. (Dave Airlie) Bug #6325: Add support for x4a4 picture format. Bug #6472: Fix a static buffer overflow. (David Woodhouse) Update all prefixes in config tools, so they mostly work again. Also, make RgbPath commented out when using xorgconfig. Start using /dev/input/mice as the default

Adam Jackson (20): Unlibcwrap. Support the new DIX motion history API Ignore button events above BTN_TASK for now. Parse Option "Path" as well as Option "Device". Re-add XKB support. Nuke the keyboard bell code. Add absolute coordinate event support. Force maximum keycode to be 255 Handle the alternate spellings of the xkb

Revert "Check for XINPUT ABI, parameters of InitValuatorClassRec have changed." Check for XINPUT ABI < 3 (corrected version) Plug a memory leak, we allocated pEvdev twice,

evdev 1.99.3 had a nasty bug that makes the server crash on DEVICE_CLOSE. Here's a fixed version. Peter Hutterer (3): Remove wakeup handlers when device is closed.

No blockers reported since the last RC, so let's get it out of the way. The new evdev 2.1 is here, and it's sparkly and shiny and whatnot. Note that this version does not grab the event device anymore. If you're updating from evdev 2.0, ensure you have [1] in the server to avoid events being sent to the TTY. Other patches of interest [2-4] are recommended to avoid duplicate events.

This one merges input-hotplug support.

Two fixes in this release, one to support Android MT devices, one to avoid an array index overflow. Colin B. Macdonald (1): Workaround lack of ABS_X on MT devices (#80470) Peter Hutterer (1): evdev 2.9.2 Tobias Himmer (1): Check for incoming MT slot indices exceeding the allocated number of slots. git tag: xf86-input-evdev-2.9.2

Only one minor fix since RC1. In xorg.conf static configurations, a wrong error code would prevent the server from loading additional devices if a device couldn't be opened. This is fixed now and only happens when we're out of memory (as intended). Looks like there's no major bugs out there, so unless I see a showstopper in before Monday, I'll get the release out next week. Peter

evdev 2.10 is now available. Plenty of bugfixes accumulated over time, one new option is now available: Resolution. This enables a user to set a mouse device's native resolution, if set the device's deltas are scaled to a normalized 1000dpi resolution. This can be used to make high-resolution mice less sensitive without having to actually change the acceleration in the desktop

Only one change over 2.10, affecting some devices with absolute axes but not ABS_X/ABS_Y. Previously, those devices had the first to axes mapped to axes 0 and 1 and thus some random axes was interpreted as x/y coordinate. With this release, axes 0 and 1 are reserved for x/y axes only. Peter Hutterer (2): Only map x and y to axes 0 and 1 evdev 2.10.1 git tag: xf86-input-evdev-2.10.1

This release restores wheel emulation on absolute devices and drops the forced direction locking for scroll buildup during wheel emulation since it made it almost impossible to actually scroll in both directions. Since horizontal scrolling is disabled by default anyway, we don't need this lock. Peter Hutterer (5): man: add a warning that wheel emu inertia must be set and it isn't
