Hi All!
X - X windows system K - Linux kernel E - Events as well
INTRODUCTION ------------
xke is userspace program which is capable read and recognize Linux kernel generated events of input devices. xke translate Linux kernel events and send to X windows system. Main goal is keyboar multimedia key utilization. As input xke uses /dev/input/eventXX device files. As output xke uses Xtst.so library alias Xtest extension. xke uses unified Linux input event system. xke don't care what input device is connected in the box. From point of view of xke differs only device name and some parmeters. So xke satisfactory works with keyboard, mouse and tablet. xke can connect to local X server any time when end-user will do it, because use Xtst library. End-user may start and stop xke during X sesion and use user specific settings. Right now xke maps key press/release events to generate key (key-press/release) series launch programs generate mouse motions generate button-press/release Button press and x y axis motion events will be sended to X "unchanged".
xke is a merge and rewrite from the programs: evdev XFree86 driver by Zephaniah E. Hull xkeymouse by Henrik Sandklef tuntiko XFree86 driver by Daniel Skarda
