I'm writing a game, and I want raw mouse input to control camera (so no additional acceleration by X server) and don't want mouse to escape the window (for obvious reasons). I'm using XI_RawMotion events for raw mouse input, and XWarpPointer to not allow mouse escape the window. Well, the problem is, when XWarpPointer is called, XI_RawMotion is posted with coordinates of XWarpPointer's target point in screen coordinates. But it shouldn't - isn't it RAW input? How to do it right? Minimal test case: <a href="http://pastebin.com/WFJULnYk" target="_blank">http://pastebin.com/WFJULnYk</a> (captures RawMotion events, and sends XWarpPointer sometimes). Compile as: "gcc warptest.c -o warptest -lX11 -lXi" You will see a series of normal events, and then a strange event generated by XWarpPointer. Anyway, is there a better method of containing pointer in a window without breaking Alt+Tab (that's what XGrabPointer does)? Can you also recommend some general best practices with X input for games? P.S. Currently using X server 1.8.2 on Arch Linux. (reported to happen on 1.9 as well)
