I am in the process of writing an external I am calling [rawmouse] which outputs the raw data from the Linux input event interface to fixed axes. I started with J. Sarlo's joystick.c but since the Linux joystick interface is quite a bit different than the input event interface, the code has changed quite a bit.

So I've gotten the object to compile and load with the proper amounts of inlets and outlets. Plus the event interface is opened, and the buttons and axes properly detected in rawmouse_new. I tested my while{} loop that gets events from /dev/input/event0 in a standalone file, and that worked. But rawmouse_read doesn't seem to get called (I stuck a post(); in there and it never outputs), therefore no data is output on the outlets.

Any suggestions would be most helpful.
