Should handle mice, joysticks and keyboards. * input-linux-mouse - Improved autodetection of mousetype. * input-mouse - 3 button support for MS protocol. - 4 button support for IMPS/2 protocol. * input-x/input-xwin - Prevent events from lagging in the socket queue in apps that don't call XFLush/XSync frequently. * input-vgl - New inputlib for FreeBSD's VGL library. * input-directx - New inputlib for DirectInput on Win32. * filter-keytrans - Added new filter to arbitrarily remap key events. New in 0.6: 1999-05-17; * Portability fixes for non-Linux platforms. * Misc bugfixes (see ChangeLog). * Minor documentation updates. * New API function giiQueryDeviceInfoByNumber(). * New GII_EV_TARGET_QUEUE value for "target" in giiSendEvent(). * Thread fixes for event queues - now it's possible to have one thread block with giiEventPoll/Read, feed events with giiSendEvent() from another thread, and have the first thread unblock. * Fixes and improvements for the cleanup stuff in LibGG. * input-linux-kbd - Fixed to compile on pre 2.2 kernels. - Pressing dead key+space now works properly. - Better handling of Backspace/Delete. - PrintScreen now works. - If Win* keys are not mapped to anything by the kernel we map them to Left/Right Meta and GIIK_Menu respectively.

Can be used to replay demos of LibGGI applications. * filter-mouse - Support for mouse acceleration.
