Hi, I figured out what my second problem was. It's a ridiculous problem so thought I'd let people know in case they face a similar problem. Since I'm developing on a VirtualBox Ubuntu, it is a virtual environment. Mouse integration was turned ON (mouse integration is a feature so that your mouse pointer can shift between host and virtual OS without having to release). Once I turned it off, my mouse pointer movement was working. Hi lkcl, I am trying to use uinput to make my mouse pointer move and register keystrokes. However, when I compile the program you have linked to (this seems to be the most popular program example on the web), everytime I run it, when it asks me for an input, I enter 'A' for example and my system crashes and restarts. I also tried using another example which moved the mouse pointer every couple of seconds. Now I found it strange that the mouse pointer doesn't physically move, but there is some virtual unseen pointer which keeps moving (I know this because I get mouse rollover effects every couple of seconds). The 2nd question isn't as important as the first, as I cannot figure out why the program is crashing. Why did the author use a getchar() to ask for input? I am very confused as to how this program works. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks a lot. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Gtk-over-DirectFB---Moving-mouse-pointer-through-API-tp22635749p25963223.html Sent from the Gtk+ - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
