how to send data to Xorg.log and XQueryPointer crash

[First Last]

Hi Peter,

well, yesterday I tried with all pointers settled, X crashed. Today I try again, 
        // where is my mouse ?
        int             wx, wy;
        int             rootx, rooty;
        Window          theRoot, theChild;
        unsigned int    status;

        XQueryPointer(dpy,rootwin,&theRoot,&theChild,&rootx,&rooty,&wx,&wy,&status);

and now it works. I didn't try (yet) to read datasfrom pointers but XQueryPointerreturn true. I guess I did some bullshit yesterday...

no this part is fine, I'm using it on some others tests I running, the crash occured at this line :

XQueryPointer(dpy,rootwin,None,None,&mousex,&mousey,None,None,None); 


for me setting a pointer to None, NULL, it's like sending data to the biggest trashcan of the universe, I guess I'm wrong...

ok.



Thanks for all Peter.
