3.1. Server side

The server supports the following extended devices :

To enable an extended device, you must add en entry in the XF86Config file. Consult to the XF86Config man pages to see the details.

The XFree86 implementation supports a non standard feature called AlwaysCore which enables an XInput device to send both core and extended events at the same time. To enable it you have to add the AlwaysCore keyword to the subsection describing your device in the XF86Config file. The SWITCH virtual device reports a Motion event when another device takes over the control of the core pointer. The id of the new device is reported in the first valuator of the event.
