thanks ... hope to see you at FSCONS (fscons.org) in November. Carlos G 
is coming over to talk about M-t.

I remember looking at it (after having checked the source code) some 
years ago. Before I spend time on the wrong things, I'd like to check 
with you if uinput is easier/better to use. Generating pointer[1] input 
events using swinput is done like:
   echo "u 1" > /dev/swmouse4
which will cause the 5:th 'mouse' to move up 1 step. So it's fairly 
straight forward to use.

I wrote swinput[2] (to test Xnee) some years ago and haven't really 
looked into any other similar stuff since then.

Do you think that uinput is a better way to go than swinput?
