Notice that it doesn't actually show anything: # evtest No device specified, trying to scan all of /dev/input/event* Available devices: /dev/input/event0: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard /dev/input/event1: ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad /dev/input/event2: 2.4G Wireless Mouse /dev/input/event3: Power Button /dev/input/event4: Lid Switch /dev/input/event5: Sleep Button /dev/input/event6: Power Button /dev/input/event7: Video Bus /dev/input/event8: Video Bus /dev/input/event9: PC Speaker /dev/input/event10: DELL Wireless hotkeys /dev/input/event11: ELAN1010:00 04F3:3012 Touchpad /dev/input/event12: Dell WMI hotkeys /dev/input/event13: Integrated_Webcam_HD /dev/input/event14: HDA Digital PCBeep /dev/input/event15: HD-Audio Generic Headphone Mic /dev/input/event16: HDA ATI HDMI HDMI/DP,pcm=3 Select the device event number [0-16]: 1 Input driver version is 1.0.1 Input device ID: bus 0x11 vendor 0x2 product 0xe version 0x0 Input device name: "ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad" Supported events: Event type 0 (EV_SYN) Event type 1 (EV_KEY) Event code 272 (BTN_LEFT) Event code 325 (BTN_TOOL_FINGER) Event code 330 (BTN_TOUCH) Event code 333 (BTN_TOOL_DOUBLETAP) Event code 334 (BTN_TOOL_TRIPLETAP) Event code 335 (BTN_TOOL_QUADTAP) Event type 3 (EV_ABS) Event code 0 (ABS_X) Value 0 Min 0 Max 3220 Resolution 31 Event code 1 (ABS_Y) Value 0 Min 0 Max 2422 Resolution 31 Event code 24 (ABS_PRESSURE) Value 0 Min 0 Max 255 Event code 28 (ABS_TOOL_WIDTH) Value 0 Min 0 Max 15 Event code 47 (ABS_MT_SLOT) Value 0 Min 0 Max 4 Event code 48 (ABS_MT_TOUCH_MAJOR) Value 0 Min 0 Max 2415 Event code 53 (ABS_MT_POSITION_X) Value 0 Min 0 Max 3220 Resolution 31 Event code 54 (ABS_MT_POSITION_Y) Value 0 Min 0 Max 2422 Resolution 31 Event code 57 (ABS_MT_TRACKING_ID) Value 0 Min 0 Max 65535 Event code 58 (ABS_MT_PRESSURE) Value 0 Min 0 Max 255 Properties: Property type 0 (INPUT_PROP_POINTER) Property type 2 (INPUT_PROP_BUTTONPAD) Testing ...
