CHAPTER 12
Input Events
The M
x
800 series terminal supports input events as captured through the Linux
kernel Input Event module. Currently, the Input Events module supports the
following event devices:
• Touch panel – this enables an event interface that an application can use to
capture events from the touch panel. There is currently support to open and
close the event device for the touch panel, but is not fully supported at this
time. Further implementation of a complete API to read/write to the touch
panel may be done some time in the future.
• USB Human Interface Device - This includes all the USB HID’s listed under
the section USB HID Support: keyboard, scanner and mouse. The mouse
device is not fully implemented at this time. There is full support for the
keyboard and scanner devices.
The APIs below are used to interface to these devices and capture event data.
