/** @page motion_normalization Normalization of relative motion Most relative input devices generate input in so-called "mickeys". A mickey is in device-specific units that depend on the resolution of the sensor. Most optical mice use sensors with 1000dpi resolution, but some devices range from 100dpi to well above 8000dpi. Without a physical reference point, a relative coordinate cannot be interpreted correctly. A delta of 10 mickeys may be a millimeter of physical movement or 10 millimeters, depending on the sensor. This affects pointer acceleration in libinput and interpretation of relative coordinates in callers. libinput normalizes all relative input to a physical resolution of 1000dpi, the same delta from two different devices thus represents the same physical movement of those two devices (within sensor error margins). Devices usually do not advertise their resolution and libinput relies on the udev property MOUSE_DPI for this information. This property is usually set via the udev hwdb. The format of the property for single-resolution mice is: @code MOUSE_DPI=resolution@frequency @endcode The resolution is in dots per inch, the frequency in Hz. The format of the property for multi-resolution mice may list multiple resolutions and frequencies: @code MOUSE_DPI=r1@f1 *r2@f2 r3@f3 @endcode The default frequency must be pre-fixed with an asterisk. For example, these two properties are valid: @code MOUSE_DPI=800@125 MOUSE_DPI=400@125 800@125 *1000@500 5500@500 @endcode The behavior for a malformed property is undefined. If the property is unset, libinput assumes the resolution is 1000dpi. Note that HW does not usually provide information about run-time resolution changes, libinput will thus not detect when a resolution changes to the non-default value. */
