Re: Q: interface / way to "generate" input events ?

[Ralf A. <ra...@sh...>]

Using a cable and a second computer / serial port is an option for some of
the tests.

I would like to use "higher level" primitives too though - means - i would
like to feed in what a low level driver produces as its output - e.g. "key
with code xxx pressed/released" / pointer moved xxx units".
Not only the more device specific sequence for a certain device.
