Hi,
I have written a program to capture ButtonPress and KeyPress events, to
play sounds on KeyPress and ButtonPress, and vibrate a device (mobile
phone) on ButtonPress. This works fine with a mouse and keyboard, but
fails with a touchscreen: the ButtonPress events are never delivered.
The problem seems to be that the touchscreen ButtonPress events are
delivered to record.c's RecordADeliveredEventOrError, where the normal
device events (from mouse, keyboard) get delivered to RecordADeviceEvent.
So if X Record using program only asks for device events (which mine
does), it doesn't receive the touchscreen ButtonPress events at all.
This seems like a bug to me, which can be worked around by asking for
any other (non-device event), like so:
> ranges[0]->device_events.first = KeyPress;
> ranges[0]->device_events.last = KeyPress;
> ranges[1]->device_events.first = ButtonPress;
> ranges[1]->device_events.last = ButtonPress;
> #if WORKAROUND
> ranges[2]->errors.first = 0;
> ranges[2]->errors.last = 100;
> #endif
When these XRecordRanges are presented (as opposed to just the first
two), then the ButtonPress events from touchscreen are also sent to the
X Record callback. But this is not a good workound either: many other
events (like MotionNotify from the touchscreen) are also sent along,
since those are also erroneously (?) sent through
RecordADeliveredEventOrError.
I don't have a lot of knowledge of the internals of X, but it seems that
for events to end up at RecordADeviceEvent, they need to queued for the
DeviceEventCallback (Xi/exevents.c), not for the EventCallback list.
From the backtrace from a touchscreen event [1], it looks like
dix/events.c still has the right intention from function
DeliverDeviceEvents (as implied by the name), but somewhere things go
south: ultimately WriteEventsToClient just calls the EventCallback list,
regardless of the event type. TryClientEvents doesn't seem to use the
source input device for any logic other than repeated key press /
release fixups.
Does anyone here have a clue what's up here, and what the right way to
fix this would be? I'd like to contribute a fix, but I think I could use
some guidance / feedback here.
The simple change to me seems to simply fix up record.c to check for
device events in RecordADeliveredEventOrError and deliver (and filter)
them properly, but maybe there is a bigger problem.
Also included a backtrace from a regular ButtonPress from a mouse [2],
and a test program I wrote [3] (compile with `gcc xrecord-test.c -o
xrecord-test $(pkg-config --cflags --libs x11 xext xtst`).
All backtraces are from a X server on current debian stable: 1.20.4

Merlijn
