Input: mousedev - handle mice that use absolute coordinates
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Devices like the HP Integrated Remote Console Virtual Mouse, which are
standard equipment on all Proliant and Integrity servers, produce
absolute coordinates instead of relative coordinates.  This is done to
synchronize the position of the mouse cursor on the client desktop
with the mouse cursor position on the server.  Mousedev is not
designed to pass those absolute events directly to X, but it can
translate them into relative movements.  It currently does this for
tablet like devices and touchpads.  This patch merely tells it to also
include a device with ABS_X, ABS_Y, and mouse buttons in its list of
devices to process input for.

This patch enables the mouse pointer to move when using the remote
console.
