Capturing Input in Linux

Question

First, yes I know about this question, but I'm looking for a bit more information that that. I have actually, a fairly similar problem, in that I need to be able to capture input for mouse/keyboard/joystick, and I'd also like to avoid SDL if at all possible. I was more or less wondering if anyone knows where I can get some decent primers on handling input from devices in Linux, perhaps even some tutorials. SDL works great for cross-platform input handling, but I'm not going to be using anything else at all from SDL, so I'd like to cut it out altogether. Suggestion, comments, and help are all appreciated. Thanks! Edit for clarity: The point is to capture mouse motion, keyboard press/release, mouse clicks, and potentially joystick handling for a game.

Using the link below look at the function void kGUISystemX::Loop(void) This is my main loop for getting input via keyboard and mouse using X Windows on Linux. http://code.google.com/p/kgui/source/browse/trunk/kguilinux.cpp Here is a snippet: if(XPending(m_display)) { XNextEvent(m_display, &m_e); switch(m_e.type) { case MotionNotify: m_mousex=m_e.xmotion.x; m_mousey=m_e.xmotion.y; break; case ButtonPress: switch(m_e.xbutton.button) { case Button1: m_mouseleft=true; break; case Button3: m_mouseright=true; break; case Button4:/* middle mouse wheel moved */ m_mousewheel=1; break; case Button5:/* middle mouse wheel moved */ m_mousewheel=-1; break; } break; case ButtonRelease: switch(m_e.xbutton.button) { case Button1: m_mouseleft=false; break; case Button3: m_mouseright=false; break; } break; case KeyPress: { XKeyEvent *ke; int ks; int key; ke=&m_e.xkey; kGUI::SetKeyShift((ke->state&ShiftMask)!=0); kGUI::SetKeyControl((ke->state&ControlMask)!=0); ks=XLookupKeysym(ke,(ke->state&ShiftMask)?1:0); ......
