yep, i need the delta.
mouse sits on something like a turntable or jog-wheel and i want direction and turning speed to control the playback position in a file..

MouseState stops to spill out values as soon as one reaches the end of the screen or window - if i am not missing something.

if i try 
sudo apt-get install pd-hid
i get
E: Unable to locate package pd-hid

….

I tried hid and it seems it only gives the delta... and so does mousestate

so, what do you mean, what is the range of these continuous values?

output continuous values, and not screen position... a mouse just puts out values when moved in any directions (x-y combo) the OS displays the cursor and updates the position on the screen based on those values. he wants the values directly from the mouse, not relative to the screen, resolution etc.

thanks for the fast reply!

[cyclone/mousestate] and [else/mouse] output mouse position relative to the patcher window, or screen….i would need an endless stream of readouts.

what do you mean by "an endless stream of readouts."?
