Using XTestFakeDeviceMotionEvent().

[Chris Ball]

Hi,

The following program (requires XInput2) warps my pointer to (0,0)
instead of the requested (600,400).  I'd be interested to know whether
this happens for other people, and if there's something obviously wong
with my code.  Thanks!


// gcc -o xtest xtest.c -Wall -I/usr/include/X11 -lX11 -lXtst -lXext -lXi 
#include <stdio.h>
#include <X11/Xlib.h>
#include <X11/extensions/XTest.h>
#include <X11/extensions/XInput.h>
#define FALSE 0

int main() {
  Display *xdisplay;
  XExtensionVersion *version;
  XDeviceInfo *devInfo;
  XDevice *xdevice;
  int count, i, devPointer;
  int axes[] = {600,400};

  xdisplay = XOpenDisplay(0); 
  version = XQueryInputVersion(xdisplay, 2, 0);

  if (!(devInfo = XListInputDevices(xdisplay, &count)) || !count)
    printf("Cannot list devices\n");

  for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
    if (devInfo[i].use == IsXPointer)
      devPointer = i; 
  }

  xdevice = XOpenDevice(xdisplay, devInfo[devPointer].id);
  XTestFakeDeviceMotionEvent(xdisplay, xdevice, FALSE, 0, axes, 2, 0);
  XFlush(xdisplay);
  return 0;
}
