In my latest desperations, I have changed the events sent by ad714x.c so they are BTN_LEFT and ABS_Y so that it better matches what a mouse does. I am trying to make this wheel do what a regular mouse wheel does. OR even better, send a keyboard keycode (one for up, one for down), which I may do later by hacking the evdev code. But first things first, why I am not able to get this to work...

I'm confused by what you are trying to do. I'm not sure I'll be able to
help until I understand what you want the end result to be. If you could
start out with a description of your device and what it should logically
be doing that would help me.

Thanks!
