Hi folks,
I probably already mentioned some time ago that I'm working on
an 9P[1] based gpm. The idea is:
* gpm becomes a little 9P fileserver
* settings are exposed via separate files (one per setting)
* another file sends the mouse events in another file as strings
(easy to parse w/ sscanf()).
* the events have absolute and relativ positioning (eg. for
(touch screens)
* multiple mice supported (eg. for multitouch)
* each driver gets it's own distinct server (and binary)
* multiple devices are put together via an multiplexer server
* servers and libgpm go to different packages
My current works are a bit outdated, will rebase it in next days.
