Hi,

found something:

A review on www.amazon.com of this device states, that the EasyCat
manual is useable when it comes to the tap/click/scroll behaviour/
useage of the PERIXX PERIPAD 501.
Vie google I found cirquecattouchpadguide_revf.pdf which clearifies
the needed geatures.

For scrolling one has to move ONE finger on the right edge of the
pad.

And it scrolls!

BUT unfortunately the scrollevents ALWAYS reach the taskbar and I am
warped through my desktops regardless of the focus a certain windows
has.

This even happens, when the cursor and the focus is on the window
of xev, with which I tried to catch the even.

How can I "channelize" the events to the focussed window?

Thank you very much in advance for any help!
Best regards,
mcc
