twaik / remote_touchpad

Simple proxy for touch events from Android device to Linux host.

How to use it

1. You should build (make) and start it with superuser privilegies (sudo ./server).
2. You should open Chrome browser on your Android device and connect to the server.
3. Now you are able to interact with PC using your Android device as a touchpad.

[Q] disable the fullscreen

Since I have switched to using gestures instead of the navbar on android, there is a issue when I need to return to the browser gui with a backgesture twice, it will unfortunate pause the mediaplayer in fullscreen.
What would be a sane edit to the index.html to disable the fullscreen launch?

[Solved] input driver

Hi, looking for a simple way to use android phone as touchpad and I stumbled upon this, however
Im having issues making the pointer move.
Compiles fine, and I can connect but pointer is not moving and terminal only prints:

Edit: what comes to mind is Im using xf86-input-evdev instead of xf86-input-libinput-1.1.0
Any ideas?
