So it is still not clear to me why we need the 2 discrete events. Either we key off the behavior off the new REL event, or from switch, but not both. Also, it is unclear to me if allocating a new event for "hires" wheel is optimal. This still does not solve the question about resolution (how high is "hires" and what to do if Logitech will come out with ultra-high-resolution wheel next year, or if we need to express resolution for other relative events).

Clicking at the Wheel button just sets it to free wheel or back to ratchet mode. It doesn't switch the resolution. The high resolution events are sent only when userspace sets the mouse to high resolution mode. I wrote patch series for Solaar with allows switching between low resolution and high resolution modes and controls if the wheel movement is normal or inverted: https://github.com/pwr/Solaar/pull/351 It uses the hidraw interface to switch between the two modes. > Also, it is unclear to me if allocating a new event for "hires" wheel is > optimal.

How "high" is the resolution can be queried on those devices. Not sure how to report it to userspace, though. Ok, one application could query it via hidraw interface (my Solaar patches do that when solaar is called with the "show" parameter). Perhaps an ioctl? Or do you have a better idea? > > Thanks. > > > + > > EV_MSC: > > ---------- > > EV_MSC events are used for input and output events that do not fall under other > > diff --git a/include/linux/mod_devicetable.h b/include/linux/mod_devicetable.h > > index a3e8c572a046..79dd7dbf5442 100644 > > --- a/include/linux/mod_devicetable.h > > +++ b/include/linux/mod_devicetable.h > > @@ -292,7 +292,7 @@ struct pcmcia_device_id { > > #define INPUT_DEVICE_ID_LED_MAX 0x0f > > #define INPUT_DEVICE_ID_SND_MAX 0x07 > > #define INPUT_DEVICE_ID_FF_MAX 0x7f > > -#define INPUT_DEVICE_ID_SW_MAX 0x0f > > +#define INPUT_DEVICE_ID_SW_MAX 0x1f > > > > #define INPUT_DEVICE_ID_MATCH_BUS 1 > > #define INPUT_DEVICE_ID_MATCH_VENDOR 2 > > diff --git a/include/uapi/linux/input-event-codes.h b/include/uapi/linux/input-event-codes.h > > index da48d4079511..da83e231e93d 100644 > > --- a/include/uapi/linux/input-event-codes.h > > +++ b/include/uapi/linux/input-event-codes.h > > @@ -789,7 +789,9 @@ > > #define SW_LINEIN_INSERT 0x0d /* set = inserted */ > > #define SW_MUTE_DEVICE 0x0e /* set = device disabled */ > > #define SW_PEN_INSERTED 0x0f /* set = pen inserted */ > > -#define SW_MAX 0x0f > > +#define SW_RATCHET 0x10 /* set = ratchet mode, > > + unset: free wheel */ > > +#define SW_MAX 0x1f > > #define SW_CNT (SW_MAX+1) > > > > /* > > -- > > 2.9.3 > > > Thanks, Mauro -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
