Ah, well, I checked out the sources for this fine specimen. Oh man... Then we have Debian guys adding their perls to keyboard handler:
++ if (inp.type != EV_KEY && inp.type != EV_REP) ++ return;
Obviously EV_SYN is completely useless message. And who cares about keyboards with scroll wheels, volume sliders, etc, right?
This package either needs lots of love or it just needs to die...
