      3 When run on a Linux computer with an Android phone attached, it will
      4 run `getevent` on the phone and pass touchscreen events into the Linux
      5 input event system using uinput, so that it appears as a touchpad
      6 input to other apps on the Linux machine.

      8 ## Building

     10 If you are using Nix, `nix-build build.nix`. Otherwise try `make`

     13 ## Caveats
     14 
     15 * WIP!
     16 
     17 * the touchscreen `/dev` entry is hardcoded in, needs to be a
     18 command-line parameter (or detected)
     19 
     20 * the touchscreen configuration (dimensions, axes, najme, USB ids etc)
     21 are hardcoded likewise.
     22 
     23 * if your phone is locked/screen off then it will appear to work but you may get
     24   garbage X values. This is due ot the way some ANdroid phones implement [wake gestures](https://github.com/boulzordev/android_kernel_motorola_msm8953/commit/ee12d4d8d5ad0e345582ab276b706b414409a6aa#diff-c55cacf3f59470057b2f39a86348c67601229a6e09edd07618db1680e97520c3R4733)
