To send mouse movements, send IO to the input.device with DoIO().  Prepare
an InputEvent, and use the device command IND_WRITEEVENT.  For mouse movement,
use IECLASS_RAWMOUSE (or IECLASS_POINTERPOS).  To do button-down transitions,
use IECLASS_RAWMOUSE and set IECODE_LBUTTON or _RBUTTON.  Button-up transitions
are similar, but you also use IECODE_UP_PREFIX.

Remember that your InputEvent has to be re-initialized each time.
