evdev is a portable, API-compatible implementation of + the Linux /dev/input/eventX interface. It covers a wide + variaty of input devices like keyboards, mice, and touchscreens + (with multitouch support), and support for it is implemented in a + lot of existing userland components like Qt, libinput, and + tslib.

+ +

evdev support was started by Jakub Klama as a Google SoC + 2014 project, and later picked up and finished by Vladimir + Kondratiev. General API and evdev support bits for + ukbd and ums were committed to HEAD. Support was + also added for TI's AM33xx touchstreen controller (the popular + BeagleBone is based on the AM33xx) and the official touschreen for + the Raspberry Pi. Multitouch support for the Raspberry Pi was + successfully demoed using the lastest Qt development branch.
