Hi Tyler, I used my search plugin to search for objects tagged with the "user_input" keyword and found:
cyclone/MouseState report mouse x/y/deltax/y and buttonpress Keywords: control max_compatible user_input
Since it gives you delta x/y I think it will solve your problem.

Hello list,
Not sure if the title explains it concisely enough, but I'm looking to get mouse data without the screen limits of X. So basically when I drag the mouse to the far-right boundary of the screen and continue dragging, though my pointer stays the same on the screen, obviously there is still data being sent from the optical mouse to the comp that states I am moving right. How can I get this data? I'm mounting an optical mouse upside down under a wheel and I want to read that data. I thought MouseState from cyclone libs would give me this with the "delta" x and y, but those are confined to Xorg's limits as well. Any ideas? I don't feel confident in hacking mouse drivers without guidance....
