Subject: EVIOC mechanism for MT slots
Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2011 16:10:15 -0500 [thread overview]

We've come across a little problem with filtered MT events. It seems there
isn't a mechanism to request the full state. If a program opens a device
there's no way it can see static objects.
Consider for example a board game. If the user puts the pieces on a MT surface
before starting the application, those pieces will not register and the state of
the game will be incorrect.
If there's opposition to this request, I suggest settling the dispute with a
game of MT battleship :-)
