ABSOLUTE stickmode moving the mouse pointer

[Poldovico]

I realize the readme says that mode turns the stick into a mouse, but the ecraven version doesn't do that and in both versions it's the only way to use it as an analog stick.
Is that intentional? Should there be a mode that doesn't do it?

[Poldovico]

I figured out why: X11 determines whether a device is a mouse by checking if it sets the key bits for mouse buttons, which you do in g13_device.cpp:

// Mouse buttons
for (int i = BTN_LEFT; i <= BTN_TASK; i++) {
    ioctl(ufile, UI_SET_KEYBIT, i);
}

Just removing the loop reverted the behaviour, but also made it impossible to bind mouse button actions to the G13, which in fairness wasn't possible with ecraven's version either.

We can probably come up with something that works better. At the moment I can not find the time but one day I might.
