- X has a device input extension, called "xinput" that is designed to
- make it easy to add new input devices to an X server. In the past I've
- used the xinput extension to add several different input devices to X
- servers. Assuming you have the source code for the X server you want
- to extend it should be pretty straight forward to add a head tracker
- as an input device to X. You'd probably model it after a dial box.
