    \title Qt for Embedded Linux Pointer Handling
    \ingroup qt-embedded-linux

    When running a \l{Qt for Embedded Linux} application, it either runs as a
    server or connects to an existing server. The mouse driver is
    loaded by the server application when it starts running, using
    Qt's \l {How to Create Qt Plugins}{plugin system}.

    Internally in the client/server protocol, all system generated
    events, including pointer events, are passed to the server
    application which then propagates the event to the appropriate
    client. Note that pointer handling in \l{Qt for Embedded Linux} works for
    both mouse and mouse-like devices such as touch panels and
    trackballs.
