Ok folks,
Since my statements about six weeks ago around touch screen interfaces,
(and that continuing to kludge the X server and/or current iPAQ touch
screen interface was just not going to happen), alot has happened.
The line drawn in the sand is that we must avoid continuing the current
Since my statements about six weeks ago around touch screen interfaces,

It is well possible that i am missing the point (and i am mostly lurking
here anyway)

We now have a generic library that allows applications of any type to
interface via a standard API with any kernel interface, and be configured
to perform any scaling, filtering or whatever else you can think of
without even being re-linked. This is actively being used by several

We're planning on using Vojtech's new input mechanism (most generally
fleshed out for USB devices, but it's always been intended for general
use) to deal with input devices in the future on Linux, and will be
retargeting the iPAQ's touch screen driver interface to this interface.
Hi list,
This is not all that important. I just wanted to know some information abt
a old assembled PC i got. I was wondering if my video adapter can really
provide 3D support. From the lspci -v info i can see that the card is a
ATI 3D Rage Pro 1x/2x (PCI/AGP). And also there is some

What? I think you misunderstood the use of EVIOCGABS. That returns the
range of values the hardware can generate. Those values are used
internally in the input system to filter out junk. Sometimes hardware can
give you errous data so those fields filter that.
I have to correct you
Has anyone looked into what it would take to make X sessions encrypted?
It seems such an important bit of functionality that someone must have
already looked into it and decided it wasn't worth it.
I realize ssh can encrypt X traffic, but that isn't much help for a

ax is the command line utility that comes with accessx. I think you already said you
have accessx so you should have ax also ... ???
Try downloading the source code again ( http://www.rehab.uiuc.edu/accessx ) and
recompiling it. ax should be part of the build. I have version 0.950.
