Description-en: utility to monitor Linux input device events
evtest monitors a Linux input device, displaying all the events it
generates.
.
It can be used to determine mice button bindings, keymaps for exotic
keyboards... It is commonly used to debug issues with input devices
in X.Org.
.
evtest is now in maintenance mode and doesn't support all the
features of the latest kernels; evemu-record from the evemu-tools
package should be used instead.
