[vfio-users] [PATCH 2/2] input: linux evdev support

[Jonathan Scruggs]

Okky, I was trying to recreate your situation because Gerd updated the
patches with a flag to set auto-repeat on/off. I tried Dota 2 with it off
and with it on, but never got your results. I set my Dota 2 up with your
settings of controlling all your charaters at once just to try to reproduce
the situation. I was holding down the CTRL key like you did and also
right-clicking a lot. Then I went mad and started to hold down several keys
at once, talk about rapid fire, one of them being CTRL, then I tried three
keys at once. The repeat keys would have been generated and handled by the
system. I alternated left and right clicks as well. Maybe now you can use
repeating events again?

Gerd, It could be that repeat now works with qemu 2.5 and not slow anything
down? Have you heard of any other test cases I could do?

Thilbaut, what GNU/Linux distro do you use? That will answer your question
on how to use the patches. :)
