So perhaps I'm missing something, but the raw events as reported by
libinput debug-events do in fact have sub-unit precision?

     event8   POINTER_MOTION    +7.14s   0.00/ -0.94
     event8   POINTER_MOTION    +7.20s   0.94/  0.00
     event8   POINTER_MOTION    +7.21s   0.57/  0.00
     event8   POINTER_MOTION    +7.21s   0.67/  0.00
     event8   POINTER_MOTION    +7.22s   0.74/  0.00
     event8   POINTER_MOTION    +7.34s   0.00/ -0.64

But I'm not really sure where the accumulation into singular device
units is coming from? Because it doesn't seem like it _should_ be
necessary - my mouse is capable of reporting at a much higher
resolution than integer device coordinates - regardless of the
sensitivity. At least it seems it should be that way?


Thanks,
Josh.
