Description Peter Hutterer 2012-03-21 04:12:06 UTC

Description of problem:
Raw events do not contain relative values.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46976

Introduced by upstream commit 4e52cc0ef48145134cd58d357fb7289e6f8bb709 which was backported for Bug #783505.

Proposed fix upstream: http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/9595/

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.10.4-14.el6

How reproducible:
Test program attached in freedesktop bugzilla.
  
Actual results:
The first value of raw events is always absolute.

Expected results:
Raw events from relative device (e.g. mice) should have both values in raw events as relative events.
