Regarding the use of EVTEST..

[Gursimran singh]

hello i'm Gursimran singh , I have been working on touchpads quite a bit
now. I want to use evtest to get live events form the touchpad using evdev
..Please also suggest some other alternative of this tool if that could work
for me ..

This is what happens when I run the command on my terminal after this the I
have to close the terminal by the cross button and the evtest program blocks
and do nothing. I hope this is not the normal behaviour ..

simar at simar-laptop:~$ sudo evtest /dev/input/event4
