Hi Guys,
I am trying to read the coordinates from a mouse on an embedded linux board. I can see data flowing in /dev/input/mice (and also /mouse0) but i cannot seem to find any meaningful data in the data returned :-(
Can anyone help ?
Are there a struct to be filled and read from ?
B.Rgds. Peter Denmark
A mouse does not report "coordinates" as such. It reports the amount of movement since the last reading. It only reports the delta.
Take a look at the following web site for more info.
Hi Bob!
