[Original Legion Go] Scroll wheel does not work when running app

[DragRedSim]

As per the title. I was able to hack a workaround by modifying the 50-legion_go.yaml file to explicitly only hide the touchpad and keyboard devices from evdev, thereby allowing the mouse device through; but I feel it would be more in keeping with the spirit of this program to pass these through as emulated events.

Running native SteamOS (from the latest image on their website), inputplumber 0.58.0-1 according to pacman.

One thing I did note that seems to be odd is that running inputplumber device 0 targets list returns a single device of the type deck-uhid, as opposed to the four devices suggested in the YAML profile. As far as I can tell, this should only be triggered on the Legion Go S, not the original Legion Go in use here, Not sure if it’s related, but I thought it worth mentioning.

On SteamOS, steamos-manager sets the target device to deck-uhid.

Improving overall support for the original Go is on my to-do list.

I've got this issue on my Legion Go 2, clicking the scroll wheel works -- it produces mouse middle -- but scrolling it doesn't. How did you hack that workaround, @DragRedSim? Can you advise? I know it will be gone in an update but I'm ok with that if I can just recreate it.

Thank you, @pastaq. As I have commented on the patch, not sure you get notifications from it so repeating it here:

I have built a new package of inputplumber with this commit (e88fa42) but there's something odd with the scrolling. Tested in konsole and firefox: scrolling up works correctly with no difference to how fast I do it, but scrolling down only works if I do it very slowly, otherwise it goes to the beginning of the page or reverses direction.

When I had windows 11 on this device both up and down worked correctly in webpages.

Thanks. I wasn't aware that the wheel could do > 1 motion. It works now no matter how hard you try to break it :)

Thanks. I recompiled the package with your latest changes and everything works perfectly now, no matter how fast I scroll.
