Slow XQueryPointer?

Hi ajax

Thanks for taking the time to look into this.

Trying -schedInterval 5 had slight improvement - the skips weren't as high, the highest was 7ms. But the skips still happen about just as often.

This sounds good. Could this make it to the next xserver release?


Also, even when this is fixed, there's going to be many linux systems without it for a year or two. Would there be any workaround for affected systems my app could do?
