Hi, |
2 |

I have a headless embedded Gentoo system. I'm using an optical mouse to |
4 |
detect rotation of a wheel. I don't need to know how fast or in what |
5 |
direction, but I do need to know whether it is turning or not. |

|

As it is headless, I have not bothered to install X. I'm diskless, so I |
8 |
don't have lots of memory to waste. (I'm running out of a 256M CF card.) |

10 |
I expect that somewhere in the chain of drivers I can tap into a stream |
11 |
of bytes coming from the mouse, and that if the mouse stops moving that |
12 |
stream stops. Or otherwise changes. |
13 |
|
14 |
Can anyone suggest where I should start looking for how to do this? |

Thanks, |
