kandi X-RAY | libevdev Summary

libevdev is a C library. libevdev has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. However libevdev has a Non-SPDX License. You can download it from GitHub.

libevdev is a wrapper library for evdev devices. it moves the common tasks when dealing with evdev devices into a library and provides a library interface to the callers, thus avoiding erroneous ioctls, etc. The eventual goal is that libevdev wraps all ioctls available to evdev devices, thus making direct access unnecessary. Go here for the API documentation: File bugs in the freedesktop.org GitLab instance: Patches, questions and general comments should be submitted to the input-tools@lists.freedesktop.org mailing list:

QUESTION

Reading mouse/keyboard events on Virtual Machine(VM) Ubuntu

Asked 2020-Aug-03 at 07:14

Basically I need to read mouse & keyboard events, so the program will know when you are pressing keys or scrolling.

It works fine on my physical machine, but does not show any events when I connect to virtual machine(VMware in my case) via Remmina VNC(from Ubuntu). Despite, both mouse and keyboard work as usual in VM. I have tried connecting to all available devices in /dev/input but still it's quiet. Then I tested all devices with evtest and got the same result - nothing.

I don't think, that it depends on my code, but I used this library.

Does it possible to achieve this? Maybe I missed something important? Any help, articles or links would be greatly appreciated.

/dev/input/js* devices are created by the joydev legacy joystick driver. It only supports joysticks and joystick-like devices.

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/input/joydev/joystick.html

/dev/input/event* devices are created by the evdev input event interface. It supports all types of input devices, not just joysticks.

https://linux.die.net/man/4/evdev

The joydev interface exposes a subset of the information exposed through evdev, specifically it will only expose an input if it looks like a joystick button or axis. New applications should prefer to use evdev, but joydev is usually still available.

The "looks like a joystick button or axis" heuristic can sometimes be a problem for joydev. When a HID gamepad is connected, evdev and joydev use information in the device's HID report descriptor to detect the number of button and axis inputs. joydev only considers buttons from the HID Button usage page, but newer gamepads sometimes define special buttons with different usages. This is especially common for Android gamepads, which have non-Button usages for the Home and Back buttons. These buttons don't get picked up by joydev.

Another big difference: joydev is purely for input. evdev supports gamepad rumble and force feedback effects.
