Hi Vitaliy,
For the record here another reply but this time from Peter Hutterer the guy who wrote the XI 2 specification. Is this all enough for Wine?

I'm still not clear which one will provide the exact events from the device? Relative events doesn't mean the device events. If this is pointer events, then it won't help. Pointer gets stuck on the border of the screen. But not mouse/trackball.
This is the reason why relative events will be separate from standard events as they won't be affected by clipping.
Also it would be nice to have a way to completely stop pointer from moving. Right now it's impossible, even with Xevie which was supposed to add exactly that.
Grabbing an attached SD temporarily detaches it from the MD. Alternatively, you could explicitly detach it. Either way, the visible representation of the cursor ceases to move (from this device anyway, other attached ones may still change the cursor position).
Thanks Roderick. This does sounds like enough for what needed for direct input.
Vitaliy.
