Clutter discards any motion event if next event happens to also be a
motion event. This is problematic when the motion event carries
relative motion deltas, since the information about them is completely
lost.
Until we have moved away made the stage stop discarding motion events,
lets work around the issue by compressing them, effectively adding
multiple relative motion deltas together, would one be discarded.

Absolute pointer events used the X coordinate as both X and Y. This
caused the pointer cursor to be moved incorrectly for absolute pointer
devices, commonly used in virtual machines.

This is somewhat gross at the moment, because we're after all mimicking
real keyboard events, we can only lookup keycodes that are available
in the current map, and the control of levels is rather limited.
Eventually, we want to implement the text_input protocol, handle these
events separately to MetaWaylandKeyboard, so event->key.keyval is
is guaranteed to be the final result. Until then, this is the farthest
we can get.

libinput does it for us, but only for physical devices. When we add
virtual devices to the same seat, we need to track button press count
ourself.

Virtual input devices aim to enable injecting input events as if they
came from hardware events. This is useful for things such as remote
controlling, for example via a remote desktop session.
The API so far only consists of stumps.

Depending on clutter_input_device_get_mapping(), or whether the current
tool is either cursor or lens (those don't make any sense in absolute
mode), relative motions will be reported.
In cogl use cogl-config.h and in clutter use clutter-build-config.h. We
can't use clutter-config.h in clutter because its already used and
installed.

The device name is something more natural, similar to what's seen
in X11, the sysname is rather the event node basename, which may
also vary depending on device insertion/detection time.
