alan_ganpok: do we ever want multiple input modules? (I'm wondering if probe_input_platforms() must return a collection - things are simpler if there can be only one.)11:29
anpokalan_g: hm at some point I thought it would be useful.. but at the moment it is rather causing troubles when both x11 and evdev are in use..12:00
anpokin other words there is currently no use case for it12:00
anpokalan_g: by changing that you would avoid this problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+bug/152811012:01
ubot5Launchpad bug 1528110 in Mir "Mir On X (mesa-x11) keeps receiving mouse movement events even when not focused" [Medium,Triaged]12:01
anpokwhich only happens when you run as root from an x11 terminal..12:02
alan_ganpok: and it would greatly simplify addressing the issue Chris and I have been discussing in https://code.launchpad.net/~alan-griffiths/mir/fix-1543049/+merge/28764412:02
alan_gWould the hypothetical "useful" scenaro be better addressed by an input module that "talked" to multiple drivers underneath?12:04
anpokalan_g: I think just changing the code to yield a single result is fine untill we find a use case in which it would be "useful" -12:08
anpokor actually the use case was for unity8 to inject user input..12:09
anpokbut they just changed the setup..12:09
anpokand they are currently allowed to use uinput to inject it there..12:10
anpokthen again .. there are various places were we could allow input injection..12:10
alan_gMultiple "platforms" isn't how I'd support injection. Weird devices that use strange drivers mixed with normal ones, maybe, if that actually happens and matters.12:19
