Hi,

    I posted this question and I found an answer with
a guy who replied my email. There is an EXCELLENT
example called xinput that complete solved my problem.

The xinput description can be found at

    http://www.gtk.org/~otaylor/ (Owen Taylor).

    My heartiest thank to that guy who replied my email.
