Hi list,
I am using [hidraw] to read events from a mouse. I understand that hidraw in fact reports the entire state of the device rather whenever some event happens. Interestingly, moving the scroll wheel down by one step is reported, but moving it down another step afterwards is not reported unless a different event (say, moving the mouse a pixel) is done. It makes somehow sense if I think of the mouse wheel as a state device, where a repeated "wheel down" is not considered as a change of state.
Nevertheless it seems impossible to parse repeated wheel down actions. Does anyone have an idea (besides using [hid] instead)?
Thanks! Peter
