not quite, they aren't stateless, but their state will be overwritten whenever the SD sends an event. If you don't have SDs, you should be able to change them. > 1) Seems quite ugly to me. Is there a cleaner way to solve this? Like > copying device capabilities? I think long term the best option would be to create a virtual SD and then control this virtual SD throug XTest and restrict the MDs to only ever react to events from SDs, but not to actually do anything themselves. Would that make sense? > 2) What's worse, when I now send input to my SD-less MD, it somehow > re-attaches my real keyboards SD to itself again. Is this > intentionally so? I don't understand what you mean in 2). Can you rephrase this please?
