Generic plug-in for relative evdev pointer events. To use it, launch apps with -plugin EvdevMouse The plug-in will try to pick a mouse or touchpad device from udev. If automatic detection does not work, use -plugin EvdevMouse:/dev/input/eventN to explicitly set the device node. The initial cursor position is assumed to be (0, 0). Relative events will generate Qt mouse events with screen positions relative to this initial position. Touchpads reporting absolute events will work too, the positions will be turned into relative. Touchscreens are however not supported. On development machines it might be useful to add the input devices to a group that your development user is part of. I.e. add: KERNEL=="event*", SUBSYSTEM=="input", MODE="0640", GROUP="users" to a file such as: /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules
