evtest (utility to monitor Linux input device events)
|
|
|
|
evtest is a tool to print evdev kernel events. It reads directly from
|
|
the kernel device and prints a device description and the events with
|
|
the value and the symbolic name. It can be used to determine mice
|
|
button bindings, keymaps for exotic keyboards. It is commonly used to
|
|
debug issues with input devices in X.Org.
|
|
|
|
Note: If your user is a member of the 'input' group, you should be
|
|
able to use evtest without root privilege. Otherwise, use "su" or
|
|
"sudo" to run it as root.
|
|
|
|
Note: On the one of the SlackBuild author's systems, running evtest
|
|
enables Numlock. Not a real problem, but it was surprising the first
|
|
time it happened.
