please don't hesitate to send in a patch to explain things better. man pages are usually written by developers who understand the context (well, you'd hope they do). it's not uncommon to find that crucial information is missing because the developer thought it wasn't necessary to spell it out. the only way to fix this issue is when others tell us that these bits are missing though. mind you, please make sure the following commit is in your tree. http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xinput/commit/?id=7ecd7d55d7a7ab9f5cea5f34f28c7c221171c2bf Cheers, Peter _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
