Being the only one capturing touch input?
Hi all!

By following the amazing research done by this community , I've managed to capture touch input by reading on /dev/input/event1. However, the touch events still got forwarded to the current displayed applet. Because I'm planing to use these events for a fullscreen application (drawn by fbink), that behavior would be undesirable...

Is there a simple workaround to be the only input reader?

You want the EVIOCGRAB ioctl, here's an example of using it to capture input devices in C.

If you're using the excellent `libevdev` library to handle low-level input handling, it also happens to have a dedicated wrapper for it.

I was not familiar with libevdev, will definitely check that out. Thanks!
