How to capture the original mouse input in X11?

Question

For the Windows version of my application, I use WM_INPUT and register the mouse device directly to get the most accurate movements. How will I do this in X11?

Answer 1

There are several ways to do this, depending on the structure used.

If you intend to do this with "Xlib," the easiest way to program for X11, you should take a look at the Xlib manual , with a special focus on XInput. More information can be obtained using XI2 (XInput version 2)
