Hi !
I'm so sorry to reply this email late.
kernel will send empty sync evnets when there are no new events, because 
sync(boolean type)
is set ture when there are no new events. if mouse isn't moving, i think 
that nothing is received
in /dev/input/eventX. this patch imporved this function. that's right?
