It would need to be tied to an output, not a crtc. And, what we'd need to do is let the input device know which output it is associated with, and then provide a helper function to translate coordinates relative to that output. That could deal with output transforms as well. I don't see how xf86XInputSetScreen has much to do with this though, other than having that be used as a hint to go lookup the output property in the config file? > - randr notification. with screens being added and removed, there's no > driver interface that I know of that input drivers can use to get notified > about this stuff.

It seems like xf86PostMotionEventP could deal with this internally, by having the device know which output it was associated with and having that code deal with finding the transform and doing the right thing. Input devices not associated with an output would not be transformed, and input devices associated with disabled outputs could either be ignored (?) or have their output untransformed. > I don't think either is a particularly large undertaking, so it's worth > tackling if you have the hardware and the test setups to actually do > it. It seems like this could be isolated entirely within the xf86 code, not touching either DIX or the device drivers. All of this is fairly ill-informed speculation at this point; I haven't dealt with Xinput at this level much. -- keith.pack...@intel.com
