It reads directly from +the kernel device and prints a device description and the events with +the value and the symbolic name. It can be used to determine mice +button bindings, keymaps for exotic keyboards. It is commonly used to +debug issues with input devices in X.Org. + +Note: If your user is a member of the 'input' group, you should be +able to use evtest without root privilege. Otherwise, use "su" or +"sudo" to run it as root. + +Note: On the one of the SlackBuild author's systems, running evtest +enables Numlock. Not a real problem, but it was surprising the first +time it happened. |
